    i had one for a little while. it got along fine with my clowns but ate my cleaner shrimp (don't know if this is typical or not). i gave him back to the store and bought another cleaner shrimp.

    yep I got a flame hawk and he is fine. My cleaner is huge so he don't mess with him. Our's is named relapse because he looks stoned/paranoid

    Do Flame Hawkfish eat snails or crabs?

    In my experience they don't go after snails or hermits at all BUT he does like to fool around with my ocellaris clown every once in a while. He will swim by and go to attack, the clown goes after him a little and then they part ways - nothing bad ever happens just the 2 fish messing around every so often. Funny to watch actually
