When they say "May eat smaller fish" they're basically saying anything the same size or smaller. I'm waiting until my goby is bigger before I get any type of hawkfish.

Sadly my red hawkfish was the death of my favourite goby. My purple gramma is back to hiding in his cave again. My larger african flameback definitely bats him into his place. Fun fish to watch perches just like a hawk. A little agressive like one also unfortunately.

They don't look like they could fit a small fish in their mouths but they have a hinge-ing system to their jaw, like a grouper. Their mouth gets pretty huge and they'll cram whatever fits into it (and some things that don't). I wouldn't risk if if I were you.

Ya I keeping thinking he's pretty similar to the falco hawkfish I had and that he doesn't look like he could fit it into his mouth, but if it's sort of like a hinge thing like Christy said, I'm not sure I want to risk it, but he's so cool I have a hard time resisting him whenever I see that he's still there.
Because I couldn't get my dumb red corris wrasse out of the reef tank I put my little fairy wrasse in with my triggers, toby puffer and king angel. The neat thing is that even though he's in a very aggressive tank no one picks on him, I'm guessing because he's small, no one sees him as a threat and that's why
