Halichoeres chloropterus

Will Halichoeres chloropterus (green wrasse) eat cleaner shrimp? I know any fish COULD but I want to avoid those that have a propensity for it.

They certainly will if your shrimp are small. But I don't think they would eat fully grown cleaner shrimp.

I have three full grown cleaner shrimp and several medium peppermint shrimp....I am not sure if I want to risk it. Shame, it is a lovely fish.
