Will a sixline wrasse eat my peppermint shrimp?

Ok - one more ? - My tank hasn't been up that long. a Couple of months. Do you think he will eat all my bristle worms?

I've had a Six Line Wrasse for about 6 months and he did not put a dent in my bristleworm population and has never bothered any of my shrimp (2 scarlet cleaners right now). I did notice a gradual decrease in my pod population after adding him to the tank though. Only other fish in the tank were 2 Percula Clowns. I like my Six Line a lot, always on the move and really cool to watch.

I watched the 6 line that I had rip a bristle worm apart during the day, and he was a very active pod hunter. They can go for the shrimp if the fish is a large one and the shrimp are small, other than that the one that I had never bothered the cleaner shrimp that I had.

My Six line actively hunts for bristle worms and pods. He has pretty much wiped out the population of critters in my livesand bed. I have to start a 30 gallon fuge just so I can have a DSB. I love the little guy, so fun to watch, but he is one hungry guy.
