He should be able to expel. Also trying to net it may force him to spit it out.Noticed my cleaner shrimp dead and the clown and the flame hawks were picking at it. One of my hawks got an antennae stuck in his mouth. Is this anything to worry about? I tried getting it out of his mouth but he keeps swimming away. I figure he will eventually drop it but if anybody thinks I need to intervene let me know and I will try to remove it.
Yeah I know. My flame hawks have been in the tank for over a month with the cleaner shrimp. Never bothered it. I don't think they killed the shrimp though. Just pecked at it after it died. When I was doing my research most people didn't seem to have issues with flame hawks and cleaner shrimp.
I can't say I'm too sad about it although I would have preferred it didn't happen. The shrimp didn't do much but steal food from my corals anyway. Oh well. He did add some nice diversity to the tank but not worth trying to fight him away from the corals trying to eat.
