Should I even bother trying out peppermint shrimp

I would say no to peppermInts if you have a flame hawk. Peppermints will do well if you get the right species.

I only get mine from one supplier, funny as hell when they act like zombies approaching and ripping apart aptasia.

I bought 4 that I specifically watched eat an aiptasia in the store. They're never touched one in my tank. Within days of them going in, I would find tiny pieces of frog spawn tentacle floating through my tank, burning the crap out of anything they landed on....

I would say just rescape your rock to get the aptasia where its accessible and zap it with a needle and lemon juice or kalk paste.
