I was looking at Hawkfish, mostly the Pixy or the Flame Hawk. This is what I have in my tank: Coral Beauty, Percula, and an Algae Blenny. My only concern about getting a Hawk is that he would fight with the Blenny, or would he fight witht the Blenny? Thanks.

What size is your tank? I would worry about the perc more than the algae blenny. With that said, I think your list might work if your tank is big enough. And since the Hawk is the last one introduced, your chance of success are even greater. IMO

Minimum size for a flame I believe is 55g and they are ignored by most fish species can be aggressive towards other hawk fishes or similar rock perching species they can be prone to color fading they are best suited for a reef tank

Pixy or a falco is fine. They have the same personality and do not bother fish already in the tank. They bother new fish. Make the hawk the last fish
