![]() This topic has received conflicting reports, i'll add at this time all my shrimps are safe. My shrimps molded and I was scared that the hawk at something to do with it, but I did a count and spotted all five in the tank.
There are three other reefers on the eastern Canada board, who have had the Flame Hawk with shrimps, with no problem for years. I thnk it is another hit and miss situation with this combo. Venki |

![]() I think good rule of thumb is that if the hawk can fit the shrimp in it's mouth, it will. I once saw the LFS dump a bag of peepermints in a tank with many hawks, and within minutes, all the hawks had shrimp sticking out of their mouths! Oops!

Reef_raf, I guess in that case the Hawk couldn't differentiate between food and inhabitant. In my case the shrimps went in before the hawk, may be that could have made the difference? |
