Hawkfish owners

[Peter Eichler]

So, I haven't owned one in years but I've always liked the... My concern is them pestering and killing pacthes my SPS colonies from perching. Any feedback on how any of you longterm hawkfish owners feel about your hawks is much appreciated.

I had a flame hawk in my last 3 SPS reefs with no issues. Great fish.

Had my long nose in my sps tanks for 3 years plus now. He is an a$$hole. But no damage to sps. Nothing would really cause an issue unless it stayed in one spot for a day or two.

Never had an issue here

I too have experience with flame and longnose without issues. Even an archeye at one point who was the biggest ahole of all and I removed him.

Had a scarlet/Flame Hawkfish before. Was fine. The tank was full to the brim with SPS. Never bothered any of the SPS.

I had a spotted hawkfish. He never bothered sps but he tormented every other fish. He is currently taking up residence in the snow bank...

I've had multiple flame Hawks in different tanks with Sps no problems here other than being aggressive to other fish.
