Flame hawks + feather dusters?

I just bought a pair of flame hawks... all I'm wondering is whether or not they eat feather dusters. Anybody have any experience?

No problem with feather dusters. Mine also has not touched my 2 cleaner shrimp or fire shrimp. They will eat peppermint shrimps for sure!

Thanks. A 2spot goby will probably be fine.

Sweet. My plan is to trade my cleaner shrimp in to my LFS, and give catching a rogue camel shrimp 1 final attempt (I sweat he moves at the speed of light). If the camel stays, maybe he becomes a snack.

How is the aggression between the two hawks? That seems like a fairly small tank to house two hawks imo. I had one awhile back I loved it he would always perch on my sps and come right up to you, very cool fish! Any pics?

Cool looks just like mine awhile back. I'll probably get another once I get more corals in the tank.

I had a flame hawk. He was great never bothered anything in the tank. He died a few months ago in QT when i had a bad brook outbreak in the tank. I added a Falco Hawk since then and he tears up the hermits. None of them ever bothered the feather dusters in the tank.
