Mantis w/ Cleaner wrasse

[Wocka]

Do you think a peacock mantis would get along with a cleaner wrasse if he was feed every night? Im also wondering if the cleaner wrasse would clean his shell.. Maybe the shrimp wont be hungry and enjoy the cleaning?

Cleaner Wrasse do not do well in a home aquarium. And im sure if the cleaner wrasse ever tried to "clean" the mantis, the mantis would prob not be very happy..

ditto on JmLee... can't imagine the mantis bearing that treatment. Regardless of how well it's fed. That said, not all fish won't exist with a mantis. nothing is technically "safe" with any mantis but smashing mantises usually are too lazy and ill equipped to bother chasing fast fish which stay up in the water column when they're presented with slower and easier to catch food... like frozens and snails.
