I've got a radiant wrasse in the tank with a skunk cleaner and a fire shrimp...he's never even looked at either. He's been in there several months, but the shrimp were there first, so that may be a factor.

bureau13,

what about having the wrasse in a bare bottom tank?

Not a good idea for the fish's health. Radiants are sand sleepers.

In response to the posters question: I have had mine for 4 months with pepermint and fire cleaner with no problems shown so far. I also added a sexy shrimp about a week ago and he's still there. At least he was this morning?
