Hawkfish are also know to kill or eat ornamental shrimp.

If you plan to have shrimp... maybe research that a little and see f yours falls into that category.

Yeah I knew that there was a chance that he would be picked on. The shrimp was almost the same size as the Flame thou and the cleaner shrimp was never bothered by the Flame... I guess with the new shrimp he got in a killing mood and probley killed the cleaner shrimp the next day then felt so bad he committed suicide

I've had my 2 peppermint shrimp for about 3 years now and for the first 6 months I couldn't find them again after initial placement. Now they come out of hiding whenever it's feeding time and will sometimes try to clean my hand when it's in the tank. My shrimp don't seem to like the light and are usually hiding when the lights are on. Trying searching for them a couple of hours after the lights go out with a flashlight. I have a 4" foxface and I can't even find him in the rock work some days (and my rocks are pretty open) so it's almost impossible to see a shrimp if it is hiding.

Thanks Jeff I certainly hope that he is there somewheres. I will be getting a few more anyways to help control the small aptasia. I guess I won't be getting another hawkfish though. I was lucky for a few months but its still a mystery.
