Muliple Flame Hawkfish in the same tank

[Kensington Reefer]

Does anybody have any experience with more than 1 Flame hawk in a tank larger than 100gal?
I'm thinking 3 or 5 in a 300gal.
thanx for any input

Doesn't typically work. Usually one is left and the others end up carpet surfing trying to get away from the meanest of the bunch.

Long Nose are about the safest to do in bunches and even then I would keep the tank secured and coverred.

I'm with Gresh. I left my cover off for a but while making a new cover and found my longnose hawk crispy and stuck to the carpet.

yeah, kinda what I figured.
how do they live on the reef?
population density?

close to each other but usually one to a coral/gorg/etc
