Wondered if any of y'all knew off the top of your heads what wrasses out there are not shrimp friendly. I want both and want it to work out.

Probably be easier to list wrasses that ARE safe. IMO most any of the flasher or fairy wrasses are well behaved with all but tiny shrimp.

Sooner or later you will ask for a fish that eats cleaner shrimp :D

Stick with Leopards, fairy, and flasher wrasses and you shouldn't have any trouble with shrimp. I've got 10 wrasses in with a pair of cleaner shrimp and they get along swimmingly.

My fairy wrasses (red velvet and an orange side) has taken a liking to shrimp. I've caught the red velvet eating a small cleaner shrimp and the orange side eating a small peppermint shrimp and a medium sized cleaner shrimp. Both wrasses are about 5-6"

I've had two Halichoeres wrasses (Vrolik's and Yellow) that never bothered any shrimp (2 blood shrimp, 2 skunk) despite being almost 6" long.
