    Well after lots of research and asking questions here, I pulled the trigger on a Flame Hawk. I love this guy...I laugh every time I look at him looking back at me. I was worried about the cleaner shrimp, but they are so large, he doesn't even bother them. My Lawnmower took a few days and gave him the riot act. Also my Coral Beauty chased him a little. All is ok now. Pics when the lights come on.

    Very cool. I was also thinking about the flame hawk but was concerned about my cleaner shrimp. Please let me know if you have any problems.

    What I was told, was if the cleaners are already in the tank, you shouldn't have a problem if they are big. If you add the shrimp after the hawk, he will think you are adding food. So far no issues at all. They have come face to face and the Hawk just turned around and swam off.

    Best of luck--Mine ate the first day, and now is a HOG. It took about 3 days to totally acclimate
