Peacock mantis shrimp with pedators ?

[my2rotties]

I have a Banana wrasse and he will kill any sort of crab, snail, shrimp or mantis in my tank. I have a hitch hiker mantis in my tank, and my banana wrasse has been attacking the rock work trying to get him. I have seen him kill hitch hiker crabs, and whatever else he can get a hold of.

I also would not chance putting any other sort of wrasse that resembles the banana wrasse in my tank... he would kill it. He is a beautiful fish, and well worth having

Any chance you can get a pic up of him?

i posted a picture of him at this link. This is the best picture I have of the guy, as he never stays still for a second. He is an actual male due to the blue coloration on his scales, the females are yellow.

He is fast like a Mako shark and is a hunter. It is also a very good thing I have a very tall canopy, since he gets airborne quite often... He is an amazing and beautiful fish.
