I would like to hear aobut people's experiences with this fish. I have always loved this fish but have never kept one. Specificaly I am interested in how they get along with smaller fish. I read that for hogfish they are one of the most docile. This is good because I keep a variety of Fairy wrasses. The fish that concerns me the most is my Twin Spot Hog. He isn't very big, but I am not a huge fan of traiding in a fish for another (but I will make an exception for the lyretail hog).
Shrimp won't be an issue becasue they have been bannished from the reef, after being caught red handed stealing food from the corals for the last time.:mad2:
 
Thanks, but inverts are all his and the other fish should be too big for it to eat.
I am most concerned about wither or not having two Hogfish in the same tank will work.
 
I found mine to be very docile, however it would chase & eat ghost shrimp and I suspect it would also try to eat smaller fish. But its a was a great tankmates, and unfortunately for me jumped out of the tank to its untimely demise
