What Kind of Wrasse

[brandonvd]

I have this wrasse in my tank and I don't know what it is. It eats any shrimp I put into the tank including cleaner shrimp and it also eats my snails and hermit crabs. The fish is really annoying because it eats everything that I put into my tank to help it, control algae and such, but I really like the fish so I am hoping to at least I.D. it so I know it is compatible with. Any help is appreciated.
