long nose hawkfish

[j-cal]

I am adding a long nosed hawkfish to my reef tank on wed. I've already done preliminary research andknow fo rthe most part what I'm doing but has anyone ever had problems with them trying to eat "big" bodied fish like dwarf angels, clowns etc? Research said that they like fish like firefish, gobies, jawfish, etc....
Experiences?

I have a long nosed hawk and a red flame hawk in my 155 gal reef. Both are 3-4". I also have fire gobies, small LM blennies and purple firefish. Neither has gone after any of the fish. The key is making sure they have other food sources. Mine eat both Spectrum and shrimp pellets with glee.

I also have a LN hawk - I really like him but he ate my cleaner shrimp. He leaves everything else alone
