Hawkfish won't work, they are very active fish, but the clown might work.
Research different types of snails for cleaning crew.

The tank is probably too small for a hawkfish, but I certainly wouldn't describe them as very active. They spend most of their time perched on rocks, waiting for a meal to go swimming by.

I had a falco that would perch for a minute and then zip the other side and do this constantly, fun to watch though.

2 clowns and a goby like a shrimp goby or 2 fire fish and a goby but no more than 3. I have 2 small perc clowns in my tank and a white ray goby and there doing awsome

I hate Gobies it makes me wanna quit the hobby.I didn't want Saltwater Guppies

Here is what I got in my tank with no problems.
Finicky,Coral Beauty *Loves to peep in the rocks more than swimming* Good thing it was in a 3-gallon at *****!

Nemo and Marline,Tank-Raised Percula Clownfish Pair*stay in a corner*
Seaweed,Six-Line Wrasse *Likes to eat out of my hand I would never get rid of him because of Nano Police*
They get a 125-gallon home in July :jumping:
I love tank upgrades

Get a Helfirichi Dartfish pair and a clownfish pair.That would workout

But costly :scared:
