Hoevans/ melnurus wrasse

What our the options on these guys with shrimp. Pep and cleaners?

I'd probably group these guys in the same category as 6 lines. Mine never bothers the peppermint shrimp.

Thanks quills. The reviews on them are very docile but mixed as far as shrimp it seems

They were both on the small side when introduced.

Not sure what a full size wrasse would do to a tiny shrimp though. They tend to be pretty territorial fish in general and those shrimps are essentially rock dwellers as well. If you have an overly aggressive one it's anybodys guess I suppose.

Idk. Its a full size wrasse. Its in qt with my other fish that are going in the new tank. It doesn't bother anything even tho it is the biggest fish.

I was more worried about my trigger when I added the shrimp. I think the shrimp has been in there about 6 months now. The trigger and the wrasse pay him no mind. Feed them well and the odds are probably with you my friend.

Trigs spook me with shrimp lol. I've looked at blue jaws, but its still a trigger. I do like triggers tho
