I saw one of these guys on the week-end and it's a great looking fish but I'm concerned that it may go after my shrimp. The one I saw spent about 5 minutes with his face pressed up against the glass staring at me.

Im always having staring contests with my hawk. Funny fish. Lots of head turning and eye expression but mines not a huge all around the tank swimmer. More of a perch and stare.

A word of warning with Leopard wrasses. they can be difficult to get eating brine shrimp and have been known to starve themselves to death. Make sure your LFS shows you that it is eating otherwise you might loose it.
Shops will loose 3 of every 4 leopard wrasses they get in, so a lot of them don't bother.
Also they can hide in the sand for the first few weeks when you first get them. That's why they are rated a 'difficult' fish to keep.
