I have several peppermint shrimp in the tank to take care of the occasional aptasia. I didn't know if that would work, but I had one, put the shrimps in, and two days later, no aptasia. I rarely see the shrimp, but every now and then one or two pops out during feeding. I also want to add a cleaner shrimp.
If I get the cleaner established and then add a small Flame Hawk....what are the chances he'll leave the shrimp alone? I do try to keep the tank well fed, and I have a bunch of snail eggs and resulting baby snails...more than I need, for sure, so if he heats some of those, no problem. What are my chances of success here? Eventually he's going to eat the shrimp, or not necessarily?
