So you think they would be ok with a pair of fire shrimp in the tank?
If the shrimp are in the tank first, I think you will be fine.
 
I have a few favs for small fish. The black cap basslet is striking and i want one, but since i dont have one i will only say its pretty.
The firefish - i have the helfrichi - is beautiful and spends all day out in the open hovering above his "bolt hole" and chasing small bits of food.
The Yellow coris wrasse- like a streak of highlighter yellow, constantly active, mine likes to "shark" at the surface of the water. Sticking his back out of the water while skimming under it.
 
I have peppermints and a coral banded with my hawk and there are no problems. very small shrimp would probably become dinner as well as hermits and small snails.
