Will six line wrasses eat sexy shrimp? Live Aquaria has them for 7 bucks each which is a price I have never even heard of.

thanks
 
Harial,

I suspect the shrimp would be just about the right size for a nice dinner meal. Being so small would be the problem as the wrasses can get a bit aggressive and if he could get to it, I'd suspect he'd 'make lunch'. We had a 6 line with our seahorses for awhile and he got to where he would act like (or actually) harass them a small amount too. If it were peppermint/cleaner shrimp size, I wouldn't be too concerned about it as ours seems to be coexisting for the time being...although I haven't seen the peppermint in a while now that I think about it. :?

I wouldn't doubt it. Larger inverts, like waterbeing said, would be okay, but I'd stay away from any 'ornamental' shrimp.
 
I would except he is eating my flatworms and nudibranch eggs. He is actually really cool to watch when he see a flatworm. He like hovers over the spot and then WHAM charges it and eat the worm. I've not actually seen him eat nudis though since I him but I have not seen any in over a week. I am hopefull that with my iodine dips every other day and the wrasse that I will be clean or those in about a month or so.
