Addition to Reef tank

[gsnap13]

Lost a flame hawk in my 30 gallon tank and looking for a replacement
Currently have 2 clowns (ocellaris) a neon damsel and a yellow wrasse
Inverts include cleaner shrimp, snails, hermits, tuxedo urchin, etc
Variety of soft corals, lps, torches etc
What would be the most compatible options to add to the tank given the others have been in there for a while? All of the others are still fairly small 1-2in

Surprised it didn’t eat your shrimp. They eat all shrimp

Welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear about your hawk.
Were you looking for something more active/swimming around more or something with a similar behavior?

Thank you! Open to either so long as comparability isn’t an issue, the wrasse is pretty docile and not quite sure where it sleeps, the clowns are always near the return pump and the damsel has made a few caves

Never even bothered it, maybe since the cleaner is pretty big

Gobies and blennys provide some serious personality without a ton of activity. And some are beneficial rock pickers.

I just got a long nose hawk and instantly fell in love with it. I’d imagine similar behavior to a flame but much more invert safe.
I also like the goby or blenny idea - a shrimpgoby + pistol shrimp is a fun combo for any tank.

Any issues adapting to existing tankmates?

Unless any of your fish are overly aggressive neither of them should have any problems.
