Default Stocking my tank

Coral banded shrimp are a little agressive, so a hawk fish
*might* not be a problem. The coral banded shrimp don't
clean the fish as well as the skunk cleaner shrimp, and
they also kill the skunk cleaner shrimp.

Yea they are realy cute fish, but they eat shrimp, and I would not
want a reef tank without cleaner shrimp.

I love hawkfish. Spotted hawks are cool, but I've seen several
species and they're all very pretty and very personable.

I probably can't get a skunk cleaner shrimp here anyway.
I'll ask the petshop guy how he finds the hawkefish with the shrimp,
he's pretty good.
