Where you will find a problem with Wrasses is they will eat other inverts in your tank. So you couldn’t have any sexy shrimp, bumblebee shrimp, Pom Pom crabs and such. Some say their Wrasse leaves their inverts alone. I personally love having diversity and lots of little inverts.
In my DT I saw my Aptasia eating Filefish eat half of a bristle worm that I knocked in the water Column, as the other half was sinking my Strawberry Pseudo swam up snd ate it. I’m not sure if that was a coincidence or if they even liked it.
I have a Springer Damsel in my frag growout tank. I don’t have any pest in tank that I know of but know they are good pest eaters. I have a six line in a smaller “Observing” tank that cleared out all the FW in that tank. I put new LR and such in that tank to let the 6 line inspect. He lets me know when the LR is ready for the the DT...LOL...
I also have a Green Mandarin in my DT that eats FW. I noticed some before I introduced the Green Mandarin but haven’t seen any since.
The Strawberry Pseudo, Green Mandarin, Springer and a six line are my natural pest defense. The 6 line being the more aggressive tank mate followed by the Springer. This wasn’t info on wrasses but thought I would tell you alternatives.

But I’ve heard Melanurus Wrasses are awesome

my yellow coris has done a remarkable job clearing my tank of ghost/clear FW. not sure if he has eaten bristleworms(i have a few that i suspect came in on some LR), but i do not actively see them so i guess the population is under control.

For bristle worms, I am not sure if one exists. I plan on adding several Bumble Bee snails.
