Ive looked at the leopard wrasse and ive heard they will eat all my pepp shrimps so ive been looking at the fairy wrasses (need color in the tank) and am wondering if theres any nice wrasses that will not eat my CUC(probably not but its worth a shot)? Im not adding anything to my tank for a few weeks but im in the planning stage.

Livestock list for my 72g:
CUC
15 cerith snails
3 mexican turbos
3 blue legged hermits
4 peppermint shrimps
1 cleaner shrimp
1 harlequin serpent starfish

Fish
2 Pajama Cards
1 Scopas tang
1 Hippo Tang

Corals
1 small candy cane
3 zoo frags
2 polyps
few mushrooms/ricordea
1 green confusa frag


Oh, you guys recommend anything else for my CUC? Im starting to get some blue/green algea and I had 10 cerith snails and i picked up 6 more today. Am I missing anything? for detritius or algea?
 
fairy wrasse shouldn't eat anything
sixline, fourline, yellow corris wrasse/yellow wrasse, flasher wrasses, etc. The yellow is fine, and I think by wild shrimp they mean amphipods or something, because I kept a yellow wrasse with different shrimps for years without having any problems.

Bluegreen algae is a tank maturity thing. It'll usually only happen if there are nitrates in the tank, and nothing really eats it, but I've been told that conchs will eat it.

Seastars are good for detritus.
 
I have a Radiant wrasse which hasn't bothered anything.

To be honest...I've never heard of a Leopard eating peppermint shrimp...I thought they were pod eaters?

I really like the fairy wrasse but would love to get a leopard instead. Anyone have a leopard in their tank w/o any problems??

Which "fairy" wrasse are you guys talking about? I looked at liveaquaria and there are a few fairy wrasses there not just one.
 
I have have never heard of a leopard wrasse eating shrimp! I have mine with 2 cleaners, a blood red, blue coral banded, 2 pepermint and 3 sexy shrimp all with no problems!
