Hawaii 4 line wrasse ate my cleaner shrimp
Got a small cleaner shrimp yesterday, after a quarantine, I intro diced into my main tank, 2 min after I saw the wrasse chasing my shrimp and cut the shrimp in half with his mouth. My question is why only my cleaner shrimp? I have a pair of sexy shrimp which are smaller. But they are hosting my rock flower anemones, pherhaps that’s why?

Not sure about 4 line wrasses but 6 line wrasses are very territorial and this could just have been a get out of my territory attack.
I used to have a six line wrasse that I wanted to shoot but he was too fast to catch. |

4, 6 and 8 line wrasse are known to be territorial and have been known to kill fish, coral and inverts
User beware

I've run across this before. Established shrimp are OK around new fish for me, but newly added shrimps are food.
Try adding the next one after lights out. |
