Will Longnose Hawkfish eat baby crabs?

I'm thinking about using this pretty fish to prevent the stone crabs / hairy crabs in my tank from spreading. ;D i see a few baby crabs at night!

Can this fish help ?

 

bump

anyone?

 

I think it might yes. Might be worth a shot. I don't have any experience with it personally though.

 

I know they will eat small inverts....so I don't see why not! Try it. They are awesome fish, so if it doesn't eat the crabs, you will love it anyway!

 

Alright.. there are too many little crabs around, very worrysome :-X any alternative fish choices for eating baby crabs?

 

I just googled it, and found lots of sites that say the longnose will eat small shrimp and crabs.
