do they eat things like cleaner shrimp?

My x-mas wrasse doesn't pay my cleaner shrimp any attention. It is perfectly reef safe. It is my favorite in my tank. He is cool. Make sure you have a sand bed, they burrow at night to sleep.

Are they jumpers? I had one long ago and really liked it, but I have no canopy to speak of on my 115g tank now (just a light fixture and bracing - plenty of room for a jumper to get out).

Mine did jump into the overflow once before. He has not jumped since.

just got one here to love it took like 3 weeks for him to come and and stay out. It does not go near any corals!

Mine doesn't pay any inverts in my tank any attention. Mine let my cleaner shrimp clean him off from time to time.
