Had a big arrow crab. Within two days I came home and it was eating my mystery wrasse. Be careful!!!

Yea, I know they can be risky. Just hoping it can reduce my vermetid snail and bristleworm population. I have a couple of six lines that I am concerned about though.
 
Had one as well like the above comment came home and he had my cleaner shrimp in his claws. Will eat anything it's claws can grab. Does a good job though at getting rid of pests like that though I haven't seen a bristle worm in a long time. As long as your fish are a good bit bigger than he is and don't have any shrimp that are on the smaller side than you should be good. They do get huge. After I turned him into my lfs once I saw him with the cleaner shrimp. He was there for a couple months and he got bigger than my hand
 
He may could get the two six line wrasses that I have. That's really about it. Last night when I got home he had a bristle worm in each claw.
 
They are eating machines and grow large quick.
Mine used to eat 3 and 4 inch Bristle Worms like candy.
Once mine started to pick at my LPS to get to food I removed it.
