I HAD A Red Hawkfish, it liked seafood better than my ex wife....lol. Seriously it ate my clean up crew twice before I figured out where they all went.

Long nose hawk :
Owned several . Mine never bothered clean up crew or any other inverts. My experience , they are perfect for reefs. And hardy.

What were you feeding it? Tank size?

 

[Rattooth]

Once 75 gallon, 185 gallon.
They eat any small size food. Frozen brine, flake .

I have frequently kept longnose hawkfish in reef tanks without them eating shrimp or other CUC.

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

I have had two longnose hawkfish in the past and both have been perfect reef inhabitants. Neither of them ate any of my clean up crew and they never bothered any fish. Both would like to perch up at high spots in the tank. My hawkfish would eat about anything but they liked Mysis the best.
