Hi All,
I have a 6 month old live rock fish only 75 gallon tank and I am looking to add two Bigeye Soldierfish, how safe are they with my population? I currently have:
Percula Clown (juv) x3
Emperor Angel (juv) x1
Hippo Tang (juv) x1
Longnose Hawk x1
Engineer Goby x1
Coral Banded Shrimp x1
Emerald Crab x1
many red hermit crabs and turbo snails
Planning to add a Lawnmower goby, Jawfish, Royal Gamma, and Fridmani.
Am I looking for trouble with the Bigeye Soldier Squirrellfish?

Thank you very much for all of your opinon.

Yeah, I love my shrimp and hermits... since I read that they're nite predators... so my new little guys as well. I have placed a hold on my order from here.
I would hate to lose any of the guys and have one fish that will make a midnight snack out of them...
Anyone more advise to help me decide to keep the order for the Bigeye? Thanks!

Doubt it would eat a large cb shrimp, but a royal gramma may not be safe. I kept one with small clownfish and it never bothered a thing. Just as a side note, thats alot of fish for a 75g tank.
