Will a six line wrasse eat my cleaner shrimp?

[tonypittman]

Anyone have experience with the six line (or Japanese) wrasse? I have cleaner shrimp in my main tank. Before I take the wrasse out of QT and add him to the main tank....is it likely that he will target my shrimp (they are considerd L or XL cleaner shrimp).

I have read varying opinions...the LFS person says that her sixline gets along with her cleaner.

Just looking for more input...

Thanks

It will be fine.

fine - but make sure its a six line - early on I had a lfs talk me into an 8 line - and before it hit the water it was heading for the shrimp - the next ten minutes was chaos

6 lines love flat worms

Just bought a 6 line! No problems whatsoever.

Six-lines and Jap Wrasse are pretty docile. I wouldn't worry about your shrimp.

I have an 8-line, 3 peppermint and 1 skunk with no problems, 6-line and 8-line have about the same temperment.

my six line was great with not only cleaner shrimp but was good with hermits too.

Great...thx everyone. Glad I asked...I feel better about introducing mine to the display now.
