shrimp w/ hawkfish

[socalracer]

want to get a cleaner shrimp but i have a 2.5 inch flame hawk......any chance the shrimp will survive?

There is a chance, but I wouldn't risk it. Odds are against you.

I have heard some people have success with it and some don't. I want a hawkfish too but I won't risk it.

if your not set on the cleaner shrimp, you may have better luck with a pistol shrimp since they will buurow. just an idea.

I don't have any personal experience with this fish but my friends hawkfish ate both of his cleaner shrimp.

i wanted a cleaner shrimp for the benefit of hopefully eating unwanted parasites, i don't want a wrasse b/c i don't want sentence a fish to death and i heard of cleaner goby's but i didn't see any on this site.

They are listed on this site under gobies as "neon gobies". I love my neon goby, he is always on the fish. I have never seen my cleaner shrimp clean.
