Long nose hawk fish vs cleaner shrimp

[Redbird5]

I'm weighing my options on which to keep in my aquarium. I love long nose hawk fish. I think they're awesome and I've wanted to keep one forever.
I'm also somewhat interested in keeping cleaner shrimp. From what I gather the two can't really exist in the same aquarium. The fish might decide to have a shrimp cocktail.
I find shrimp a bit creepy looking. I've researched gobies and shrimp and their friendship, which seems very cool
What are the pros and cons of both the lnh and the cleaner shrimp?

Interesting. I've heard they can do that.

If you get the Longnose Hawkfish, your instincts are correct... think of any shrimp you might buy as just expensive, tasty hors d'oeuvres!! Lol. I also have had shrimp that have proven to be a little disappointing, when they just hang out behind or under rocks and only make their move into view when it's feeding time. It sounds like you've always wanted the Longnose … I would go with that. They are indeed cool!

You already made your decision, get the hawkfish!

Will a hawkfish eat a tiger pistol shrimp? Because it definitely needs to be eaten...
