i have two XL cleaner shrimp in my 120 litre marine, i introduced a 6 line wrasse in there about a month ago, i read that some of the wrasse can be aggressive to ornamental shrimp, but i have colleagues at work who have kept them with shrimp in the past with no problems.
Just noticed the wrasse move in to try and harass both shrimp, but both shrimp defended themselves with enough gusto to put him off.
Are the shrimp able to just deal with the issue?
Also, a friend of mine is planning to give me his cherub angel, which is fine with his cleaners, would the angel defend the shrimp as he gets cleans off them?

any thoughts would be great, thanks guys
 
six line wrasse can be very territorial and aggressive for their size.
I personally have never seen them be mean at all but this is what I have heard.

The Cherub Angelfish should be fine with the shrimp.
