Green/Blue/Brown Bird wrasses, along with most others WILL eat inverts MOST of the time. There are ALWAYS exceptions in the hobby, but I wouldn't risk it if you want to keep them. If you're keen on having a wrasse, check out the six-line wrasse.

Flasher wrasses are nice and they don't bother the shrimp.
