I have a Flame Hawk and can't say that he is a favorite fish of mine. Most of the time he is hiding somewhere, except feeding time. He has not been kind to any of my other "perching" fishes either, like gobies and blennies. Although, that was only temporary when first added. He is in a 135g tank though, and might be more territorial if he was in a 35g.

You won't be able to keep any small shrimp either, like peppermints, in case you ever need to get rid of some aiptasia. Bigger shrimp like cleaners, are OK though.

Color is nice, and the way he moves his eyes when looking around is interesting.

Don't know,... up to you, but wouldn't be my choice.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

I have one in a 25g, and he seems fine. I have him in with a white faced wasp, leopard, red coris and flasher wrasses and various snails and a hermit crab and an emerald crab. He doesnt really pick on anything, although I did try a cleaner shrimp in there, but who knows who ate him (it was before the red coris, but he still didnt last very long). I had a segmented blenny in there, and the hawk seemed to leave him alone too (who knows what he does when I'm not there). And he is very active, and usually comes and perches at the front of the tank when I'm home. All in all, probably one of my favorite fishes. I also had an arc eye hawk in another tank, with nearly the same personality, I think they are awesome fish to watch, and I think if your adding him in last he should be ok with your dragonet, my arc eye was in with a red scooter and he left him alone completely.
