Hogfish compatibility
Hi,
<Hello Tom>
I have a 110G reef, 120lbs+ live rock reef. Currently have a Yellow Candy hogfish which was added after a Sixline wrasse. It took a couple of weeks for the Sixline to stop bothering the Hog, but now they all get along fine. 
My question is, I just found a very nice Peppermint hog at a LFS, would like to know if you think it will get along with the Yellow Candy Hog and others
Current population:
Percula clown 2
Sixline wrasse 1
Purple tang 1
Royal Gramma 1
Yellow watchman goby 1
Blue pacific tang 1
Yellow candy hogfish 1
Flame angel 1
Dwarf hermits 20-30
Black brittle star 1
Derasa clam 1
L. amboinensis 2
Various LPS, SPS, Xenia, Mushrooms
Abalone 1
Nassarius 15
Thanks, Tom
<Mmm, I would not add this fish to this mix... the tank is getting a bit crowded psychologically, and the mollusks would likely suffer from the addition. Bob Fenner>

Hi again,
<Howdy again>
Agreed, just curious if there would likely be direct aggression between the two Bodianus species. If those two would tend to get along, I'd gladly trade the mollusks and maybe one or two of the other fish back to the LFS for credit on the Peppermint. The Yellow Candy hog has turned out to be one of the tank favorites, would love to add another small Bodianus if they'd get along.
Thanks, Tom
<Mmm, most small members of this genus do mix... okay... generally, given sufficient space... (and reciprocally, most larger ones do not)... especially if started small/er. If you have room to move one or the other if trouble breaks out... Bob Fenner>
