yellowhead jawfish and shrimps

I already have 2 scarlet skunk shrimps and about to buy 2 peppermint, i was thinking to get a yellowhead jawfish but i read that they will eat ornamental shrimp. Does anybody had an experience with this fish and shrimps? I really want a yellowhead, but i love my shrimps dude.any advice please? Thanks in advance guys..

mine doesn't even look at my shrimp. when i first put the shrimp in it was tiny and could have easily been eaten. yellow headed showfish don't get very big, as long as the shrimp are medium to large sized i don't think you'll have any issues.

2nd that. NEVER seen mine look at a shrimp snail or other invert. I have seen him grab a snail to make part of a "fence" around his burrow, but it just crawled away.
