Shrimp & Spotted Hawk?

I hear that the spotted hawks eat crustaceans. Will I have a problem with shrimp? My other fish are 2 percs, lawnmower blenny and a lunar wrasse. I have a 110 xtra hi with no cleanup crew as of yet. What are some other sugestions for keeping tank clean and also for other fish?
Thanks for any help.
I also posted this on the newbie section but I guess it belongs here.

the lunar wrasse is much faster so it will get the shrimp,so I would hold of on that expensive meal

Any type of Hawkfish, prey on shrimp and crabs in the wild, so be careful with the shrimp you put in, however, I had a CBS and my Flame Hawk, and they both were cool. My guess is the Flame didn't want to get pinched:)

I have a hawk and ever since I put him in my cleaner stays out of site. I haven't even seen my pepermint for over a month. I'm kind of depressed because I enjoyed handfeeding both. I had read that if the hawk was small it wouldn't bother shrimps but unfortunately that is untrue.

Thanks everyone.
So no shrimp.
What should I get to clean? My maid says get lost. She doesn't do windows, dishes or crushed coral.
