I'll have to check my books when I get home but if I remember correctly these guys won't touch your cleaners. You should be OK.

Halichoeres chrysus? I have an H leucurus in with a Peppermint Shrimp that was in there before him that he doesn't touch. I am in the same boat as you...I want to add a pair of Harlequin Shrimp, and I'm worried about "new" shrimp inhabitants. Best bet is to add the shrimp in the evening when the Wrasse has gone to sleep in the sandbed.

mine isnt interested in any of my inverts , had a cleaner with him and was fine . Bristle worms are candy to him though so that can be a good or bad thing depending on your attitude.

I have one and put the cleaner in after the wrasse. It's been two weeks since adding the shrimp, wrasse is new too maybe a month.....and all is well so far.
