it depends on which wrasse you buy. i bought a mexican wrasse (pink, yellow and blue... awesome fish)of about 4 " and she would eat every shrimp, or crab she found, sorry she developed a tumor after 2 years with me. Marco

That bad boy woulda killed those crabs quickly. A wrasse isnt going to do it, they are too small. A trigger would, but then you run the risk of your corals being eaten. You should get yourself a trap and begin laying it out everynight and catching them every morning. Sooner or later, you will get them. Sorry to hear about that though, it does suck.
