Blue head wrasse

[mechano]

Hi, I am looking into buying a blue head wrasse and have done all of the very extensive research before adding it to my 85 gallon reef system. The only "gray area" is whether or not it will make lunch of cleaner shrimp species.
Any additional info/experience with this particular fish would be greatly appreciated.( i know its a motile invert hunter, but most info says they eat smaller shrimps,crabs, micro stars etc.)

super fast moving, active and non stop swimmers.

will eat smaller shrimps and crabs but i've never seen them eating cleaner shrimps. it would help putting the shrimps in before the wrasse and make sure the shrimps are big.

I had one and amazing fish. Swimmers big time also jumpers big time. you will have to cover that tank. AS for cleaner shrimp or any shrimp, I could not keep any. I tried a couple of times and all got eaten. Hermit crabs and snail have to be put in at night when it was sleeping and they learned not to come out during the day.
Funny story, I got this great deal on hermit, something like 20cents per on a group order, and I was dropping them in the wrasse was pecking them off, that is how I learn to put them in at night.
