hawkfish and cleaners

[Dustin1231]

I got a heck of a deal on some cleaner shrimp today. (2 for 20) and were going to put them in my 120 mix reef. But i also have a spotted hawkfish in the tank. All the research ive dont says not to put them with "small" shrimp... Would a cleaner be a small shrimp? The hawkfish does pick on my jawfish...
Anyone have luck keeping them together?

I had a flame hawk for a while (jumped), and it would not let me keep shrimp in the tank. If the shrimp was large it would live for a while, but I believe that the hawk would eventually get them during their molt.

I have a flaco, he is a model citizen with crabs and snails. I don't have any shrimp though...If you try it let us know how it goes...
