Harlequin shrimp with brid wrasse

[Joeype]

I have a 4-5in bird wrasse in my 180. The little starfish are out of control. If I add 2 Harlequin shrimp for the starfish, the wrasse is going to eat the shrimp more then likely correct? Thank you.

Thank you for the reply. Any other option for the starfish besides getting rid of the bird wrasse?

Manually remove them. Once the lights go off for the night you will see a lot more (they’re nocturnal)

That would be the best time to actively remove them. Don’t get discouraged, but manually removing them from a 180 where they’re “out of control” is going to take perseverance.
