The yellow hawkfish? Can't find much of anything on them.
Anyone have info on Paracirrhites xanthus?

Don't they stay small though? Like are they going to eat cardinals? I have an opportunity to get a hold of one for what I consider pretty reasonable, but there isn't any info or price idea. So maybe not so reasonable.
About four inches. Cardinals other than Apogon parvulus should be fine, shrimp definitely not fine. Like Cirrhitichthys aureus, they are a serial hermaphrodites. Neither Cirrhitichthys aureus or paracirrhites xanthus is inexpensive with most going to the Japanese market.

Thanks for your help. It's under $200. I know of one in Chicago for $300 right now. Seems the price is coming down.
Old Town Aquarium, huh? $200 is a good price, for sure.

The one I know of isn't old town. It's proreefcorals . com
The one I am considering getting is in WI though.

Well, the yellow color is pretty, and unusual in this type fish. Let us know if you get it and pictures would be welcome. I think there is a utube video around somewhere.

There is an article on Reef Builders about them (search hawkfish).
