Long nose Hawk or no?

One of my favorite things I had in my last aquarium was a Long Nose Hawkfish. I really want to buy one for my current setup, but I have a question first. I've read Longnosed Hawks pick on/eat smaller shrimp occasionally. In my old tank I had a cleaner shrimp(bout an inch and a half) that my Hawkfish never picked on. In this new tank I have 3 sexy shrimp(smaller than an inch each) and a Fire Shrimp (bout an inch and a half). Do ya'll think the Hawk would eat these shrimp? Anyone ever had any experience with Hawkfish eating their shrimp? Thanks in advance.
 
I think it's hit or miss depending on their temperment.

My 2 Spot Hogfish is the same way. Some say he'll eat all the shrimp. Others say they never touch them, but definitely don't add any in after you get one.

Perfect example of the "reef safe" diversity of 1 fish- ranging from 2-8. lol
