Default Falco Hawkfish

Just got one of these and a diamond goby for my biocube 29. They are in with 2 aggressive clownfish and a blood shrimp. Anyone have experience with a falco hawkfish? All I know is that they are one of the best choices for a reef tank as far as hawkfish go.

Say bye bye to your shrimp. The falco will eat it when it molts

Funny thing was it was in a tank with 5 smaller cleaner shrimp at the LFS. If he gets my blood shrimp, that would be an expensive meal. Did one get your blood shrimp?

If he gets along with the other fish I think its worth the risk.
