    Just got back from my LFS and after spending a small fortune on various things, I ended up with 4 new fish. I got a Magnificent Foxface, a Cleaner Wrasse, a Orange Spotted Goby, and a Geometric Pixy Hawkfish (I think...). I cant post pictures till I get on the computer(wifes hoggin' it lol). I only got pictures of the wrasse and gobie, the foxface is being shy and the other one is in a tank thats dark right now. I'll get the pics up ASAP.

    Can't wait to see the new additions.

    I don't know if the hawkfish is reef safe and the wrasse has special feeding needs.

    The book at the LFS says it was reef safe and so does thatpetplace, but liveaquaria says with caution. They say they may harrass and eat small fish but the hawk is like barely an inch and is definitely the smallest in the aquarium. Only thing ill be worried about is him eating small shrimp. Would a cleaner shrimp fall into that group?

    Heres some pictures. That is the best I could get of the foxface so far. Don't mind the hair algae, I'll be waging war again tomarrow and doing a water change. The hawk fish is kind of combination of those to pictures. It has the one long fin but has spots like the other.

    Just a heads up... make sure you have lid/some type of cover over your tank. I had an orange spotted goby and he went carpet surfing after I had him for a month.

    Good lookin fish though!

    Well I has happy to see today that my cleaner wrasse ate mysis shrimp when added to the tank. I wasnt really expecting that. He still attempts to clean the fish through out the day so its not his only source of food.

    They all look good. If you don't have a cover get one for the goby. They will jump.
