I think I made a mistake...

I trusted my LFS guy.... I am not too savvy on fish compatibility and asked if this Flame Hawk would pose a problem in my tank. Of course he said no, but I did some research and apparently I have a buffet for a Hawkfish. The tank is 55g but the current and future inhabitants will be/are:

2 peppermint shrimp
1 cleaner shrimp

3 firefish
1 mandarin
1 Yellow watchman goby
2 ocellarus clownfish
1 tiger pistol shrimp
1 pom pom crab
couple feather dusters
and of course a clean up crew of snails and hermits.

I think I have a buffet for this guy. Does anyone have any personal experience with these fish? I read that they will eat shrimp, snails, hermits, and pick on slow fish.

He's in QT now, so I can take him back if need be.

Oooh, thats not good as these guys are reef safe with caution at best. If its young and small its kinda cool but eventually those shrimp/crabs are "on the menu" :shock: .

Yep, well, sanity took over and I took him back. The LFS was very cool about it and gave me a full refund. So I stuck to the fish I have already researched and designed the tank to have. So don't start on me Here he is... I have TONS of pods, a refuge, and prepared to supplement tank with pods if need be. I really need a better camera, I can't take photos with my point and shoot inside the tank. I have to stand like 5 feet back and zoom in and try to hold the camera "really really still". Which for me is impossible :strip
