What are safe with cleaner shrimp?

cleaner shrimp can tend to be immune from a lot of fish that will eat most other shrimp. That being said, if you want a wrasse that is safe with most inverts and shrimp, look at the Cirhilabrus genus of fairy wrasses. Some are entirely safe, while others are mostly safe.

My 6 line doesn't bother my peppermint shrimp at all, don't know if a cleaner would be any different

Fairy and flasher wrasses are all "shrimp safe"
