Opinions on pistol shrimp with hawkfish

[edsbeaker]

Hi,
I would like to add two shrimp gobies with a pistol shrimp into my tank that has a flame hawkfish. Will the gobies be enough protection for the shrimp? The gobies (pink bar) are 3”, but the shrimp is small, 3/4”

Yes they will be fine! Once they burrow into the sand, which they'll do quickly they'll find their way to comfort in a few days, the gobies will just be gobies and they'll be perfectly fine! Also I'd only suggest doing one pistol shrimp and one gobie!

Thank you!
