Longnose hawkfish

I would like one to my
reef. I have a mixed reef with 2 cleaner shrimp. I'm worried about them perching on corals and eating my shrimp. Will this happen?

I was going to put a hawkfish in my tank that I going to rebuild. With all the things that I have read, since I also want shrimp, I decided against it.

I absolutely love them they are my favorite fish. I have had two, first one was with a fire shrimp, the second was with 8 peppermints and neither killed a single one. That is at least with the second hawkfish they 8 peps lasted over a year until I added a huge maroon clown and then they were gone in a week.
