I have a red flame and spotted in my reef - they do fine but as mentioned above, shrimp will not do well. I do have a pistol shrimp which has not been bothered.

Actually I had 2 large skunk cleaner shrimps in a 55 with a spotted hawk and long nose hawk.. they did not bother them and acuatlly liked getting cleaned by the shrimp.
