Hi guys,

My Hippo Tangs and Clarkii clownfish keep pestering my Coral Banded shrimp to groom them, even though they aren't cleaners.

Would it be safe to introduce a jumbo-sized cleaner shrimp, and what species I should get?

My tank has 2 hawkfish in it so I'm not sure if it's a risk I should take.

I know hawkfish eat shrimp, but so far my Coral Banded shrimp are fine... (and they're rather small.)

Thanks in advance!

Hmm I kinda think that the coral banded shrimp and the sally lightfoot is quite aggressive maybe u can remove this critters and exchange them for the 2 cleaners. Actually blood/fire shrimps are good cause they are quite "shy" compared to the pacific cleaner shrimp which snatches food from almost anything... :pirate:

as for the risk with the hawkfish I'll bet on it since you will be feeding that fellow ;)

just my 2 cents

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
