Sixline + Cleaner Shrimp

[FEEDERFISH]

How does the Sixline Wrasse interact w/ Cleaner Shrimp + Peppermint Shrimp? Will the Sixline Attack the Shrimp?

[Reefynewby]

they shouldn't. Sixline wrasse are friendly and reef safe. I've never heard of sixline wrasse attacking shrimp. And the sixline would have to be big and the shrimp very small.

i feed my marine beta ghost shrimp. ive seen my sixline take a ghost shrimp almost a 1/3 of his size down. its neat to watch. he grabs them by the belly, takes to a rock and rips it apart. if you are going to try it i would try it with a large cleaner. it could be a risk at $20 a pop for clener shrimp.

I also have a 6 line that i recently switched to my 120. I was worried at first because I had two peppermint shrimp. He hasn't bothered them at all, although he did displace one of the shrimp from his favorite cave.
