So:
Had a nice Cleaner Shrimp for 3 months.
Bought a Falco Hawk 2 months ago.
Hawk never bothered Shrimp, didn't try to do anything ever, basically didn't even know he existed. My Shrimp has molted 3 times already.
I feed a variety of mixed Frozen, Pellets and TDO Chroma Boost twice a day...Livestock is 3 Clownfish, 1 Midas Blenniy, 1 Hawk, had 1 Cleaner Shrimp, 6 emerald Crabs and about 14 different snails in a 40G Breeder Mixed Reef.
Went to a wedding last night, stayed over night, drove home this morning.
Fed fish in the AM around 10:00 or so....thought about feeding again before we left at 3:30, but did not.
Came home at 1:30 next day..Cleaner Shrimp is Gone(he just molted again 2 days ago) so I'm sure he was a nice soft snack for the Hawk. Hawk is fat and big belly now.
Only a few tentacles and a few small pieces of flesh flailing in the power heads is all I saw.
I knew and researched it all before, some have had this issue, others have not, but as a general precaution, I always made sure the Hawk ate plenty of food.
But good Lord...he misses 1 evening meal and devours my Cleaner Shrimp!
What greedy Fat *******!!
