Advice for current situation

Just introduced a flame hawk to my tank, he has adjusted very well. He doesn't seem to bother any tank mates, but my 2 skunk cleaner shrimp are terrified of him. He seems to control the section of the tank they are accustomed to. The shrimp have relocated by the return pumps, and try to stay away from the hawk fish. Both shrimp are larger than the hawk fish, and he doesn't pay attention to them. Am I just paranoid, or do I have a potential problem?

Have you researched this fish at all? Buying first, then checking comparability, isn't a good idea. I love Flame hawks; but they are notorious shrimp eaters. Often one leg at a time.

Yeah, from everyone I spoke to they said they usually get along with skunk cleaners. They said smaller shrimp are at risk.

I'm sorry but I don't see this ending well in shrimpland. A few months ago I lost 2 fire shrimp and 2 cleaners withing hours of introducing them to my Halichoeres leucoxanthus.
It was horrible.
