flame hawk fish

I recently have had a sudden interest in this particular fish. I just wanted to know if any of you guys have this hawk fish. Is it a good fish to have? Also, I was curious about the fish's compatibility with other fish and ornamental shrimps. I currently have a solar wrasse, neon goby (should I be concerned?), maroon clown pair, blue tang, and two dispar anthias. Let me know your input on this, especially the compatibility with the neon goby. Thanks

Beautiful, personable but they eat shrimp.

I have one and he is great. Very pretty and just a cool fish to watch. He basically swims around sitting from rock to rock watching out the tank. I have a cleaner shimp in the tank too that i got before him and have never had problems.

They are probably one of the coolest fish as far as personality goes, but they usually are not reef safe. I have a flame hawk at work, and he likes to bite our dottybacks in half (yes in half) when they go tank hopping. He is a mean little devil, but I think usually they just prey on inverts.
