    Its a hoevens wrasse...i know not the most reef safe guy...but i got him a while back when he was small enough to be a goby...and thats what i thought he was lol...wont make that mistake again...but he doesnt bother them when they are not molting...as of now im going to give him the benefit of the doubt that the shrimp died because of poor molting and the wrasse just got his dead body :/

    hey bruce i had the same issue with my wrasse. it is a six lined ,(reef safe, not so sure anymore):worried: worried and i baught two camel shrimp and he killed them both. i know it is not from food shortage. he just got pissed and snapped. i like my wrasse but if he keeps causing problems with my paired mandarins and other critters he will have find a new home.
