im not sure about the clown wrasses agression or habits ... but i beleive the other 2 will be alright with hermits and shrimp.

your have to wait an see what someone who knows more about clown wrasses then me thinks though

Clown Wrasses (Coris gaimard) are a natural predator of hermit crabs, feather dusters and shrimps (but probably not cleaner shrimps). To keep them from attacking hermit crabs (most of the time), feed often and provide rubble for the wrasse to dig in.

He is as good as gold really comes out about 6am until about 8.30am for food then burrows under the substrate until next morning, sometimes he pops out for ten to see whos about, apart from that he is a very placid friendly fish

Will agree with that Lynden, although another common wrasse called the "Clown wrasse" is Cirrhilabrus Solorensis which is of course compatibile with inverts. I'd look up pictures of the one lynden and the one I mentioned and see which one you have danny

Im a bit confused, when i bought the wrasse the lady i got him from said he was a clown, but every google image ive looked at look nothing like him, mine is like a dark orangey colour with electric blue dots that start from halfwy down and end at his tail. he also has 2 white markings either side of his head and 1 on the top of his head?? any ideas

could it be this wrasse at an inbetween stage?

 

[dannyboy01]

Thats the one, the top one is closer to it, im pretty miffed now cos i cant really keep any hermits cos it will prob eat them. Anyone wanna buy a wrasse who lives in south of england lol cheers for the help.

 

[kkyyllee]

yeah, that sucks

good luck finding it a home

Heh, yeah Coris wrasses are definite crustacean eaters. They will also sometimes throw LR rubble across the tank looking for food underneath
