I'm a fan of Scarlet hawkfish, they've got a quirky way of bouncing around the tank, not exactly swimming but I love 'em anyway.

Keep an eye on those shrimp with him around, just saying.

I've decided on the flame cardinal, mainly for its safety around my inverts and its beauty. Anything I should keep an eye out for with this fish?

My 36 gallon is coming in February hopefully, and I've started thinking about my initial stocking plan. I'm planning to start with a fowlr setup and then transition to a reef tank later on.
For now, I'm thinking of getting 2 black ocellaris clowns and 1 flame angel. I'd also love to get a clown goby, but that's not a priority - more of a nice-to-have.
This is my first saltwater tank, so I'm basically clueless. I've heard some mixed reviews about flame angels - will mine be okay?
They're truly a gem, often overlooked by many.

Gotta be careful with shrimp around him, but personally, mine's been great, hasn't touched any - I was prepared for the worst though, for the sake of the hawk.
