wrasse and cleaner shrimp
I want a cleaner shrimp, I have a pink wrasse in my tank, would the wrasse recognize the shrinp as lunch? or leave it alone?

Can you be more specific about your wrasse? Do you know the species name? There are a bunch of wrasses that are pink like fairy wrasses and the mystery wrasse. There is also a wrasse that's called the Pink Face wrasse. Fairy wrasses and the mystery wrasse will typically leave your inverts alone but the Pink Face wrasse is not considered reef safe and has a higher likelihood of lunching on your invertebrates.

Picture will help, I have never had any issues with keeping cleaner shrimp with any of my wrasses. I also have fire shrimp and peppermint shrimp with a good stable of wrasses.

I believe that most wrasses that are considered Fairy Wrasses are reef safe and will not (generally speaking) go after ornamental invertebrates. I can't think of any fairy wrasses that are not reef safe. So I would say you're fine :-)
