Just about any of the "fairy" (cirrhilabrus sp.) or "flasher" (paracheilinus sp.) wrasses will be safe with inverts and are usually safe with other fishes including other wrasses. The "lined" wrasses (Pseudocheilinus) like the 6line and mystery are generally safe too but more agressive toward fish tankmates especially wrasses.

My Cirrhilabrus solarensis has been very easy going with other fishes and doesnt look twice at my shrimp.




edit -- The yellow coris is usually safe with inverts and other fish also, and is a good choice for flatworm issues.
