Flame hawk and pistol shrimp?
I have a 2" flame hawk in my tank (29g) and would like to add a tiger pistol shrimp. I don't haven't tried any shrimp in the tank with him yet, but have seen him go after hermit crabs when they're turned over or exposed. Do y'all think if I add a tiger pistol, he would go after it? The tank only has the flame hawk, a black ocellaris (2.25"), and a yellow damsel (1.75"). Tank has about 35lb of rock. I wasn't planning on adding a goby, but will definatley consider it if y'all think it will work out with the hawkfish. Thanks in advance.

My flame hawk has never picked at a shrimp or other inverts - 2 medium skunks,2 large fire shrimps,1 CBS, 1 large tiger pistol, 1 small then grown fairly large Randall's pistol with a pair of gobies. I'd not expect to see the pistol shrimp often, especially without a lookout to let him know it's okay. I've really enjoyed the "Hi Fin" or "antennae" banded gobies, and the flame hawk doesn't seem to notice them - though they are certainly wary. The Yashia Hase is very cool as well.

It's a hit or miss with that one. Flame hawks prey on shrimps and other crusteans in the wild. It's almost like saying "Will this angel nip on my corals" type question.
