    harlequin shrimp

    hey all! over the past few months ive been slacking off on removing any asterina stars from my tank to make sure i had a decent food source for a pair of harlequin's i plan to buy. its at the point of what i feel should be a pretty steady food source for them. ive never seen them damaging my zoas or any corals just grazing on the coraline on the rocks and glass. here is the possible issue. i have an adult red coris wrasse and a sixline. what are the odds that im just going to buy an expensive dinner for them when i purchase the shrimp?
    thanks for your input.

    Re: harlequin shrimp

    Hello,
    Typically the Six Line will leave the shrimp alone but the Coris Wrasse will be hit or miss.

    Thanks kev! That's what i figured. So I guess I have to decide if the wrasse is worth taking a chance on a 50$ meal.....
