Hey all,

I've read how my flame hawk is supposed to be a cleanup crew killer...
What kinds of cleanup type inverts might I be able to get away with?
Can I get large cleaner shrimp or Peppermints or will he butcher those too?

What works in this scenario?

Only some. Shrimp for sure will be food as will be smaller snails. Lg astrea, turbo grazers and trochus snails will be safe
