Shrimp and wrasses (1 Viewer)

What kind of wrasses can I put with scarlet cleaners, blood red fire and coral banded shrimp. Can a bi color and starry-eyed blenny both be in a 40b.

You should be safe with any wrasses in the Paracheilinus and Wetmorellagenus genus and would be best in a smaller tank.

Cirrhilabrus, Pseudocheilinus and Macropharyngodon (might go after small snails) species are generally safe as well. (Pseudocheilinus and small Macropharyngodon would work in a smaller tank but Macropharyngodon will want to hunt for benthic organisms).

Larger Halichoeres and Anampses may or may not be depending on size of fish and size of shrimp.

Caveat is all fish are individuals.

You wanted to know which wrasses are safe. I answered the question. there are a bunch of "reef safe" wrasses so rather than list all the different species names I gave you the genus. If you go to live aquaria they will give you the genus and species along with a representative picture.
