They have a neat personality, kinda like a little pet dog in a tank. Love their eye movement when they lay around observing everything, but ya soft bodied shrimp won't last.

I've had my Flame hawkfish for over 6 months, my wife wanted it also, calls him DR Phil ( same eyes). During this time I also have 2 cleaner shrimp, 1 fire shrimp, and 1 banded shrimp. They are all considerably bigger than him but he has never bothered them. Go for it! they are characters!

I located one in Calgary for $42.00, but he was a tiny little guy and I decided to pass.

$42 for a flame hawkfish is not a bad price. Sometime a small fish is better than a big fish because you can train it to eat frozen/dry food.

have a flame and speckled hawk, don't bother the coral banded at all, but team up eating snails.
