What are "...ornamental invertebrate"? I was looking to purchase a wrasse and saw this warning on an on-line merchants site "The Exquisite Fairy Wrasse is harmless to ornamental invertebrates." I have the following invertebrates:
Four shrimp (two blood red and two cleaner shrimp)
Three small emerald crabs
Two star fish
And various snails.

Ornamental invertabrates could be shrimp, snails, crabs, cucumbers, duster worms, corals, or clams, basically anything that is an animal, ut doesn't have a backbone, that we(aquarists) keep because it is rety or intersting.

Some wrasses will hunt some of those creatures. The exquisite wrasse is safe with them all.

It should be fine with corals, just not the above mentioned.
