The Five Striped Wrasse is one of the more aggressive wrasses in the family, and as such great care should be chosen with its tank mates. This fish will eat small shrimp and possibly crabs, but will typically not bother corals. This wrasse is very active, and even though aggressive would benefit from having plenty of places to take cover in the aquarium.
They will also nip at clams
