yellow clown goby must go, thoughts on hawkfish?

[alten78]

if yall remember early this week i asked if my clown goby would bother my acros(which everyone agreed that it would,) and unfortunately i saw it a couple times today nip at them. Plus the mille is definately stressed and showing no pe unless i put it up high in alot of flow where the ycg doesn't roam.

I really hate to get rid of the guy as it is fun to watch, but i like my corals alot better. I liked to watch it perch from rock to rock so i thought why not think about a flame hawk. I don't have or plan on any shrimp, any thoughts on them?

Well the flame wont munch on the coral. Its kinda of a big fish to be jumping from acro to acro. Might stress them more

I've had a flamehawk in my tank for over a year and I have shrimp and other inverts. His personality is the reason I have him. He will not burrow in an acro himself like a clown goby will.

i have a flame hawk in my work tank and i've finally quit giving him cleaner and peppermint shrimp for snacks

there are success stories (just like above)

.... roll the dice and cross your fingers.

no hawks if you want to keep shrimps long term.
