Excellent! That is a pretty wrasse! Again, if your wrasse wanted to eat your shrimp the shrimp would be done by now. :-) He/she is probably satisfied that they've shown that shrimp who's boss and they will probably become BFF going forward :-)

man kien, I sure hope you're right. I really don't want any predators in my tank.

aside from eating tiny copepods, amphipods and worms, I would not consider your wrasse an invertebrate predator.
