hzheng33 Moderator Staff member Supporting Messages 2,091 Reaction score 2,216 Location Peachtree Corners (Near Norcross High School) Sep 13, 2016 #12 in my experience, no
hiimsean Well-Known Member Supporting Messages 2,980 Reaction score 1,432 Location Acworth Sep 13, 2016 #13 It's always possible though. Halichoeres</em> species wrasses are know to go for inverts, that's why a lot of sites will list them as non-reef safe. I have a melanurus wrasse that won't think twice about making a shrimp it's dinner.
