I just recently bought a bird wrasse.....a terrific addition, and he has not even looked at my corals.....I adore the long beak and the colorful beak that he has. BUT whenever trying to take pics.......it seems like he is a camera ham..........oh and he eats whatever I place in the tank....

I really doubt that a six-line would eat cleaner shrimp. First the shrimp are much bigger then the fish. Second, no fish really eat cleaner shrimp. I had a Valentini puffer, and he loved to be cleaned by them, and would never think aboput touching them. If you are looking at wrasses than all of them are to be considered as 50/50. They can be good or bad, but I think that it is a myth about six-line wrasses.Maybe I am wrong?

I have to disagree with your statement about no fish eating cleaner shrimp. Many of your agressive fish (groupers, puffers, lions, triggers, eels, hawkfish) would consider a cleaner shrimp a nice snack. Yes, cleaners have been kept successfully with these types of fish, but that is more of an exception than a rule.
However, I do agree that a six line would probably not eat a cleaner. Six lines tend to be pod munchers...
