Harlequin Tusk

[caffers0]

Hi Folks
Can anyone tell me if a Harlequin tuskfish is reef compatiable? Also can I keep any sort of reef friendly shrimp or crab with a redflamed hawkfish (about 21/2" in length) and the tusk?
Finally could someone suggest a good angelfish for my set-up - again reef friendly?
Thanks
Hugh

if getting a tusk ask you LFS for an ozzy one.

Sounds like they may have a pop at inverts....

Regarding hawkfish, I hear they are ok with larger inverts, but small cleaners and crabs may be a bit of a temptation for them, especially in smaller tanks.

Also, coral beauty angels are one of the safest bets for reef safe angels.
hope this helps
