Im thinking about introducing a longnose batfish into my FOWLR with shrimp and crabs. This is what I have in the tank....

Fish,,.,,

1 YT
1 Blue Hippo
1 Auriga Butterfly
1 Ytailed Damsel
1. false perc
1 koran
1 cleaner wrasse


Inverts...

2 cleaner shrimp
2 emeralds
6 snails turbo and astrea
7 hermits......variety reef, blue legged, white one, etc

Would this be a problem as far as introducing it to my set up???? I heard they are pretty docile and a community fish.....
 
I have an orbic batfish..iam not sure what a long nose batfish is but watch tangs with batfish...i had to move mine because the sailfin and pwdr blue tang would not let the batfish get a moment of peace.....my koran dosent bother the batfish at all..neither does my maroon clown..thats the only fish i have remotley close to your fish list so thats all i can offer on fish....now for inverts...i dont have inverts but the batfish loves brine shrimp, mysis shrimp and table shrimp...so use caution with inverts....now i have heard that batfish are very prone to ich but i have not experienced any ich with mine(XXXX fingers) and my batfish will eat out of my fingers and is very docile and dosent bother any one at all and he is aprox ~10" top to bottom and i have had him about 4 months..he grows about an inch or so a month
