It m ay become aggressive to docile less boisterous fish and you may have a possibility of ornamental shrimp being eaten. Maybe try a Flasher or Fairy Wrasse instead! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.

I've had six lines in my tank for the past three years not a single problem. With that being said some might have problems with them and some might not. | |

Fish are like people, they each have there own personality. I've had mine for a while now and he hasn't touched my cleaner shrimp.

+1 To M Lacom99 I believe that and agree with that with any fish/animal. Just have to watch them when you first get them. The fish store you buy them from will usually take them back if you give them good business and will usually work out a deal to get you something else.

My sixline gets along great with my 2 cleaner shrimp. Almost daily i see them working him over, and he seems to enjoy it. I think each fish is different.

I've had an sixline wrasse before and found that it got along fine with everyone in my tank- they are know to predate bristle worms but if you've got one bristle worm you have an hundred so its not an problem- plus they are really cool looking fish- a real plus for any tank- enjoy! | |

For what its wroth I have had two of them one died from age and never caused me a single problem in the yrs I had him The second one died from a long freshwater dip.. Tore up clams and corals and ate every coruscation I had .. would I try another NO once bitten twice shy.. But i personally know guys who keep them just fine and I know others who have a problem and have seem both type in there aquariums and they all look alike (: But Like one said here they are like people and with their own personalties and its a pick-um game as to what one you trust.. Good luck (:
