Mystery wrasse murdered and devoured my coral banded shrimp in literally 5 seconds

[alzika]

In my tank back home, both co-existed peacefully. When I added the shrimp to the quarantine tank, I added the mystery wrasse an hour later. The shrimp had plenty of places to hide. As soon as the wrasse went in, he darted to a specific area and absolutely OWNED my coral banded shrimp :(

I've had them both for years.

ugh

That's an awesome picture. I hope mine will leave my two cleaner shrimp alone.

It's not eating him, just letting the shrimp get a better angle to clean the inside of its mouth.
