Wrasse question

[Mindi]

I have what I believe to be a male Hoeven's Wrasse about 5" long, and I have Aiptasia. My LFS tells me that if I put in Peppermint Shrimp to eat the aiptasia my wrasse will eat the shrimp. Comment...??

It is a risk. I have had some specimens that were well behaved with inverts and other specimens that will eat shrimp.

My male hoevens ate 6 large peppermints in 15 minutes of putting them in.
