The Flame Hawk and the Mantis

[westcoastreef]

Do you think a flame hawk would kill a small mantis shrimp, smasher, 1.5 inches.

I cant say for sure, but i think if a flame hawk started to mess with a mantis it would probably end up dead before it knew what hit it.

If it's a full-grown flame hawk, I would assume the hawk would win. Hawkfish eat shrimp in the wild. Unless you are specifically setting up a confrontation (which IMO is cruel) I would not advise this pairing.
