    It should be fine with Emeralds. They are more of a threat to shrimp.;)

    I have kept these two together for quite a while with no problem, cleaner shrimp though are just an expensive lunch...

    Sorry to bump in here lol...... what about coral? Are flame hawks a threat to any softies, LPS or SPS at all? I have some really nice acros which is why I ask.

    Only in teh fact that they have no swim bladder and will "perch" on the coral. they wont eat it or nip at it. I had one eons ago... it used to sit on my sps.
