Adding another fish?

I have a 29 gal oceanic and I currently have Flame angel, mandarin, clown and a firefish. I also have a cleaner and a peppermint shrimp as well as a few snails and a couple of crabs. I was considering adding a flame hawk. Would this be too many fish for my tank? I do have a h.o.t. fuge too. Everyone in my tank is very happy and healthy, but would adding a flame hawk be overkill for my tank? I also have some zoa's, ric's, yellow polyps and candy cane. I would also be concerned for my shrimp and, snails and crabs?
 
my first thought is about the mandarin and its mass pod consumption. rather than a bio load issue.
Not trying to be critical but...


if i am off base some one please let me know
 
I'm fortunate with my mandarin, he eats brine! I do have a bustling pod population but I added the fuge to help with pod production. Manny (the mandarin) eats well. He's constanly eating pods and every few days I feed the tank brine.
 
I tend to agree your close to the limit but I wouldn't be to concerned with 1 more. The flame hawk will eat your shrimp though, almost 100% promise.
