Will shrimps be safe with a flasher wrasse?

Will flasher wrasse eat shrimps such as cleaner, peppermint, fire shrimps, etc ?

Thanks.

I believe that they are reef safe, so I would say that you would be okay. Generally, fish won't consume things bigger than their mouths.

I've never seen a flasher or fairy wrasse eating shrimp like that. I know a lot of people who keep them together including myself

my labouti ate my fire shrimp. i thought it would be safe since the shrimp was way bigger then its mouth.

yes safe.. unless its a brine or mysis shrimp

 

[wrasseguy2]

they will not go after your shrimps

The peppermints may be an issue, but fire & cleaner should be fine.

no problems that I have heard of or experienced myself. My flasher and fairys don't bother anything in the tank.

bigger faries certainly can eat shrimp. flashers should be fine
