use caution with the shrimp and hawkfish. I have a flame hawk about 4 inches maybe 5 and he'll destroy peppermint shrimp but has never eaten the 2 cleaners, fire shrimp or coral banded. I also make sure my shrimp are a decent size when i get em and i keep hank (flame hawk) well fed to help is interest in the shrimp to a minimum. Also if u want shrimp get the cleaners or fire instead of the cbs, at least they are beneficial to the tank...cbs are just mean. Id also forget the damsel and lionfish cause the damsels turn into bullies and the lion fish most likely will be a threat to some cool invertebrate u want down the road. If u are thinking about yer fish list like u are now then thats a good indication that you'll become obsessive LOL, and u mise well get friendly reef-safe inhabitants so u can feed yer addiction of buying live stock for your tank. let us know what u decide on doing.
