Adding fish - need advice on compatibility

[MatthewScars]

Right now i have:

Yellow tang 4"
sixline wrasse
midas blenny
lawnmower blenny

Im looking to add the following:

4 Chormis
2 mated firefish (or one if i cant find 2 for a good price)
1 cardinal
----
2x Lyretail anthias
Long nose hawk


My main question is, will the anthias and hawk do well in my 90g reef? Im assuming the anthias will be no issue, but im not sure if the hawk will cause issues.

suggestions?

The firefish will be at the mercy of the six line wrasse.

The firefish will be at the mercy of the six line wrasse.

+1 The LN hawk should be fine.

The firefish will be at the mercy of the six line wrasse.

hm, ya. one firefish jumped and the second vanished after a week.

anyway, what about the anthias and long nose? will they be fine and not nip at corals?

 

[prattreef]

neither will nip at corals, nor should they bother each other. A large LN hawk might take a run cleaner shrimp etc, but otherwise they are quite docile unlike most other hawkfish.

I have a pair of cleaners. Will the LN kill them or?

 

[ellebelle]

It depends on the size of the cleaners and the size of the long nose hawk. If you have large cleaners and a small hawkfish, you may be fine. If the situation is reversed, the LN hawk will almost certainly kill the shrimp.

Just to add, if you ever want to introduce new shrimps into your system that LN Hawk will more then likely kill and eat them.
Plan ahead, I didn't and I've been trying to catch my LN Hawk for a week now. So far he's winning. Oh and I'm sure he killed and ate my Blood Shrimps which were huge and 1 cleaner. All shrimps were in the tank close to a year before him.
