Yellow wrasse with cleaner shrimp?

[bct15]

I have been seeing a lot of these fish in peoples reefs lately but it is usually listed as a non reef safe wrasse because it had a tendency to eat shrimp and feather dusters? What are your experiences with this fish mixed with cleaner shrimp an feather dusters? I am asking because I am thinking of adding one to my tank but I have feather dusters, peppermint and cleaner shrimp.

Thanks,
Brandon

Exactly what fish are you referring to? There are a couple of wrasses that go by that generic "yellow wrasse" name.

I have mine with a cleaner and alot of feathe dusters with no problem.

I had a VERY small peppermint disappear but I do not know if he is to blame.

I'm referring to halichoeres chrysus , the one called a yellow wrasse on live aquaria in the non reef safe wrasses section. Also known as a yellow coris wrasse, golden rainbowfish, canary wrasse, and golden wrasse . I read online that it was improperly labeled as a coris wrasse so I used the name on live aquaria, sorry for the confusion.

I have one with 2 cleaner shrimp (added after the fish if that helps at all), and he doesn't even notice them.

As for small feather dusters (you know the small colonial ones that grow on the LR), they might be in danger. Larger ones are probably okay though (no personal experience on that one).

Ok gotcha. Like the others have said, mine has never bothered a thing. Great fish IMO.

I have one in with my cleaner and I also have tons of little feather dusters, no issues at all.
