Ive never dealt with lyretail anthias, so I'm not really sure what to expect. Would they eat fish small enough to swallow? I know some anthias will, but no clue about most. What about reef compatability? Would they eat small shrimp and such, cause it will have fish and shrimp in sizes down to tiny(maybe even sexy shrimp)? Would that work, or would I need to put it into FOWLR? At the moment I have a TINY, barely larger than an inch&1/2, convict blenny in my QT, which MIGHT be small enough to fit in the mouth of a lyretail I'd like to get. If I get the anthias it would have to go in with the blenny. Is that a risky situation? Thanks for any and all help, everyone:)

Ive always loved, and am about to breakdown and finally get a longnose hawkfish, but almost everything Ive read anywhere basically says they can anything from one end of the scale to the other, as far as everything(temperament, eating smaller fish, being able to be kept with shrimp/big shrimp, you name it!). Ive come to the conclusion all shrimp, and hermit crabs are out, but snails, starfish, and cucumbers and such, are fine. No smaller gobies and blennies, or other small fish(when hawkfish is large), but if it's too big to eat, most individuals won't be aggressive towards anything else(other hawks?). Are they particularly attractive targets for bully fish? Does anyone feel differently about them? Is there anything important I'm not taking into consideration?

I've only recently started really getting into fairy wrasse, but I can't seem to get definitive information on keeping them together. It was my understanding, stemming from firsthand experience, albeit pretty limited, that at least some of the common ones(lubbocks, carpenters, etc) can happily live together with different species, even in small tanks, but as far as in general, everyone seems to have different opinions(well, of "yes" and "no", anyway). So, overall can different species live together? In any dynamic-males/males, famales/females, males/females, males&females/males, m&f/f, m&f/m&f "/" = different species a tank full of many different fairy&flasher wrasse species would be absolutely jaw dropping!!!!
