I have some kind of pink wrasse. It has orange eyes and a light blue tip around the outside of it. It was in a set up tank i bought. The owner didnt know i was in there. It has no lines or details on the body. Just solid pink/orange.

IM not sure. It doesnt look like either one of those either. The striated Wrasses have white on their cheeks and a lighter belly. This guy is all one color. His eyes are also bright orange. It looks like a female flasher of some kind. I just cant figure it out. I believe he is responsible for attacking my watch man goby and eat all the legs off my pistol shrimp. Poor shrimp is just rolling around to get to food....

More pictures of the fish please.
 
Agreed that more pics would be helpful. That said, a Ring-eyed Dottyback, Pseudoplesiops typus, perhaps?

Yes - if it is one of the dottybacks, that would explain why it is attacking the shrimp like that.
