Porcelain Crab w/ Hawkfish Yes? No?

Ive always liked these crabs, but Im not sure if it'd be ok with my Hawkfish (about 2 1/2 inches). The fish has never bothered the hermits. What do yall think?

I have a cleaner shrimp, emerald crabs and a pistol shrimp with my hawk fish. He has nipped at a cleaner shrimp, and I was really careful setting my pistol shrimp down on the bottomw so he could get to his hiding spot. I would say that it is always a gamble with a hawkfish.

hawk fish eat crustaceans. so as long as the crab is larger than the mouth of the hawkfish you will be fine.

i on the other hand would not trust it.

I also have a pistol shrimp that he has never bothered. The fish is pretty small 2-2.5 inches. I'll see if anybody has had experience with the 2 together.
