The only fish I'm unsure on is the hawk. The others won't touch any of your clean up crew.

Here's the link for the hawkfish

Longnose Hawkfish

It only really says it's reef safe and semi aggressive. I would say that it will not eat clean up crew based on that information.

BUT anyone who has one feel free to chime in, every fish is different.

I do know the long nosed hawk fish will sometimes eat bristle worms and I consider them one of the most important parts of my CUC. The are know carpet surfers as well.

Personally I wouldn't put a dotty back with a firefish. The firefish isn't a very aggressive eater and may starve.
