Any suggestions on a new fish?

I was going to suggest some small hidey-hole type fish (it's fun watching them pop in and out of the rock) but your hawkfish may try to eat them. What type of hawk is it and any closer ID on the Australian-whatever? Wrasse maybe?

You could try some Chromis, they'd fit in with your other fish just fine. With 4, I think you'd pretty much be maxed out on fish in a 105 reef.

The only problem with Chromis, lately they haven't seemed to be too hardy, probably because of collection practices. Also, although some people have had luck with them schooling, usually, it's not the norm. Any time I've tried it for an insistent customer they end up with one or two big ones left and all the weaker ones harrassed to death. I no longer try that
In fact we've had such bad luck with Chromis lately that we aren't ordering any for a while.
