    Omard, Thanks but go ahead and post your FOTM on the goby and ill see if I do one for the Flame on December, like that it gives me time to observe the fish considering I only got it yesterday. I did my research on it, but would like personal observations.

    Thanks

    So far he perches everywhere including the tang feeding clip up top, but I wish he doesnt perch on the gorgonian because it might not open up completely if theres a fish in there moving from time to time.

    I don't know which one I love more the flame or the $32 fire shrimp I added last week, they both cost about the same ;D

    I hope his mouth is small enough, so he wont make the fire shrimp a snack.

    It has nothing to do with mouth size when it comes to hawkfish....they'll tear the shrimp to bits before they eat it if need be. Hopefully, your shrimp will be smart enough to keep itself well hidden.

    Well yesterday the hawk was next to the fire shrimp and it did not do anything so theres some hope. I think it wont attack the CBS because its to aggresive.

    Here is our Hawk, great fish except our Kole Tang doesnt think so. The Hawk has done the overflow thing on more then one occasion as well.

    We also have a spotted, which tend to be more aggressive then the flame hawk. He killed a peppermint and cleaner shrimp so we had to remove him from the tank. He was also taking the tank over becoming agressive towards our Coral Beauty Angel
