    Yeah was afraid it was majano, its about a golf ball size I'd say. Yanked it from the tank once I got to looking at it and my LFS said they would kill it if we brought it to them so it's headed to be disposed off.

    Thanks for the compliments on the tank, took forever to get it to this point but we're finally happy with the rock and can't wait to get some more corals in it ;D (you might recall we were setting up a fowlr system...yeah right)

    I would watch adding the hawkfish, he will probably eat or pick at the crabs and snails.

    If eating the snails and hermits is something the hawk feels that he has to do that's ok with us. He's the fish we saw when we decided to do this and we went back and forth on him and finally decided that they are just to neat not to have one. If he decides to have a snack, well...snails are cheap :) Don't get me wrong I hope he doesn't but we really really want this fish ;D
