Flame Hawkfish Compatablity

Ok so here's my setup, I have a 20 gallon tank.
So far I have:
1-Black Saddleback Clownfish
1-Blackcap Basslet
1-Jewel Damsel
I'm wondering if the Flame Hawkfish will have any problems with those fish, Note that I'm also considering getting:
1-Porcelain Crab
1-Scarlet Hermit Crab
1-Knobby Starfish
I read that Hawkfish have been known to eat shrimp and sometimes crabs so I'm fairly concerned about the scarlet, I don't think the Porcelain would be problematic.
Thanks,
Silver

I think you'll be O.K. with the flame hawk; they're great fish that seem to be watching you all the time. They're generally considered "reef safe" as long a there aren't any small shrimp. With the addition of the FH and the inverts you mention, you're really pushing the capacity of a 20 gal tank.....
