    Dragon Wrasse

    I bought some peppermint shrimp a few days ago to help with an Apitasia problem im having. I noticed that I haven't seen them since I put them in, I think maybe my dragon wrasse ate them? Also I noticed yesterday that my star fish is missing part of his leg.

    Do you think that she could have done this? I really don't want to sell her but I think I might have to if shes eatting all my cleaners...

    Most likely yes. Dragon wrasses are rough fish... they'll eat most any shrimp, crab, snail, even small fish. They will also redecorate your tank. Best in aggressive, FO type setups...

    +1 here.

    They're neat fish, but they're a wolf in sheep's clothing if you purchased on looks alone.
