Six Line Wrasse & Shrimp Compatibility?

Would I have a problem keeping a six line wrasse with peppermint, skunk, and sexy shrimp?

I've heard of them eating peppermints shrimp, and sexy shrimp are so much smaller.

Are white banded possum wrasses any less risky?
 
I've got a six line with 2 skunk and 1 peppermint and I've never had any problems. The wrasse isn't too much bigger than the shrimp so I'm not too sure if he would even try to attack.
 
I have a 6 line with cleaner shrimp with no problems in a year. Their bodies are about 3/4 inch and the Wrasse is about 2-3 inches.

I did however find a crab leg on the bottom of the tank this morning. Not sure who killed it.
 
Ok, so I did some research and it seems the possum wrasse risk is fairly low since they have such small mouths.

But I also came across someone saying they were worried about their jawfish eating the shrimp. Is this also an issue? :-?
 
Not that I have heard of, but not very many people have sexy shrimp in non-nano tanks. Also the 6 lines have a TINY mouth and that isnt going to stop them from eating the sexies.
