Peppermint candy cane hogfish and large shrimp

[Steve1500]

Looking at buying a 3" peppermint candy cane hogfish. I have a 180G DT with a 3" blood red shrimp and a 3" cleaner shrimp already in the tank. LA mentions that it's best to add hogfish after the shrimp have already been added to the tank. Will hogfish eat a 3" shrimp?

It's risky and relies on a little luck but personally I would avoid the species because they can become very aggressive.
