Cleaner shrimp and Pinkface Wrasse

[ski1297]

Do you think that a pickface wrasse would eat or try to eat a cleaner shrimp. I do feed him krill and he is the boss of the tank. I do have coral and he does not try to eat that at all. Had a hawk fish But last night he went to the big reef in the sky. R.I.P.. I did not know that cleaner shrimp and hawk fish do not go well with each other found that out the hard way and i do not want to buy them a $15 snak. But now that i lost my hawk I would like to get some shrimp. I all so have a Tomato Clownfish, Royal Gramma Basslet, and a Yellow Damselfish.

Thanks
Ryan

it is the Thalassoma quinquevittatum ?
if soit will go after any shrimp. the like to eat bristleworms adn are known to go after mantis shrimp also.. even though they dont go after coral. they are not a crusty friendly wrasse

Yes they love shelfish.

Yes it is a thalassoma quinquevittatum and he does like to eat brisleworms. So no shrimp of any kind.

thanks

I think the better question would be what wrasse wont eat shrimp?
