Longnose hawkfish compatibility ?

[appaloosa1]

I have a 24 g nano cube with a clownfish in it (about 2 in). I wanted to put a longnose hawkfish in it and wasn't sure if it would be ok to do so. I have several corals and about 20-25 lbs LR. If not what other fish do you suggest? I just got rid of a royal gramma that was beating up the clown, but now he seems lonely.

i would sugest the flame hawkfish. IMO they need less room and have better color. the only thing is that if you want to keep shrimp in there then you cant get any hawkfish. otherwise pick anythat is less then 5 inches.

They also like to jump (at least mine did). Went carpet surfing...didn't find him until it was too late.

i have my longnose hawkfish in my 45 fowlr. he is just always sitting around on everything waiting for me to feed the tank. I also have 2 shrimps in there with him, 1 3yr old blood shrimp and 1 2yr old pepermint shrimp. The hawkfish has never bothered the shrimp, but then again they are the same size lol .

I don't have any shrimp, but i do have hermit crabs. Hawkfish won't bother them or will they? If ya'll feel it is ok I think I will get one next time the LFS gets a small one in.
