Crosshatch, New member to my reef
What are your opinions? So far she has been a great fish and new addition to my tank. She has not bothered any of my anthias's or my mystery wrasse.

Crosshatch are great triggers.... not overly aggressive and reef safe. The only downside in the reef is the nutrient load that they can create.
That said, my pair do fine with all their tankmates.... but new shrimp are simply viewed as a tasty morsel. Gave up on cleaners and went with a cleaner wrasse. -Rob

my pair has never bothered an invert ever. My male consumed all my chromis in short order though. I recently added about 2 dozen peppermint and 5 cleaner shrimp to my tank (under the cover of darkness). They are really secretive fish, so when I put my hands in the tank a couple times, they went for cover. It made the additional quite easy. And they still have looked at the shrimp as food. The cleaners actually swarm the male when he locks himslef into a crevice at night.
