freckled hawk..... aggressive!!
When I added my FlameHawk, I had a yellow tang, 2 dominant female clowns, and a few damsels.
Since then, I have removed the two female dominant clowns and exchanged for two smaller clowns (in hopes they will bond), added the Diamond goby, (removed the damsels for picking fights). And increased my CuC size significantly.
He has about 3 different areas where likes to hide and watch things. He spooks real easy if a sudden movement is made towards the tank.
This will make my 2nd FlameHawk, my first one died on me and I really liked him. My first one would perch on top of my LR, and watch everything below it. I have never seen either of my flamehawks pick any fights. As far as I am concerned its a safe community fish.

Nice hawkfish.
The group in general have great personalities - some more aggressive than others, but they are all very personable, and they watch their surroundings... well, like a hawk.
All of them will make short work of your clean-up crew. Snails, hermits, smaller shrimp... sometimes they'll leave a large cleaner shrimp (or fire shrimp etc) alone if it's HUGE and if it was there first, but smaller, and newer specimens are more likely to be menu items.
It's too bad - they are a great addition with their comical personality, but if you get one, it's just a fact of life that you'll be replenishing your clean up crew more often.

Sure do. It called "Sit N Stay That Pet Place" Long name and they have like 9 10 gallon tanks for salt and another about 18 for fresh. The store is mostly dog, cat, rodent, and reptile stuff.
The salt tanks are still new so a couple are empty waiting on the parameters to level out. I'm trying to talk them into plumbing at least a couple of the tanks together to make some bigger, more stable systems.
