I have a peppermint Shrimp missing.
Do you guys think it is my Hawkfish?

You mentioned in your first post you were missing a Peppermint, but want a cleaner, FYI I had a Flame Hawkfish that never bothered with my Cleaner, fire or Coral banded shrimp, but never had a peppermint in at the same time as the Hawk, hope this helps and good luck

I had a spotted(falcos) hawk that ate a full size cleaner shrimp. The shrimp was just about the same length. It took him a couple of days to swallow. It also ate my hermits. It would wait till one got close and then grab the hermit before the hermit could pull into its shell. I think you have better luck if you add the hawkfish after the shrimp.

Hawkfish are predators.
Do you have any other fish in your tank
