Wrasse and shrimpies

LittleVictoriaReef

Newbie is a fair assmnt.
I would like to get a single wrasse, however I have a peppermint shrimp and would like to get a cleaner shrimp or two (I also have coral). I have heard that Wrasse's are not shrimp safe? Does anyone know one that is?
 
Wetmorella Sp. and All the fairy (Cirrhilabrus Sp.) and flasher (Paracheilinus Sp.) wrasses should be safe with shrimps. The ones you'd have problems with are in the Pseudocheilinus, Macropharyngodon, and Halichoeres families of wrasses. At best they're 50/50 with shrimp but, I've heard very few cases where they didn't end up eating ornamental shrimp.
