Best Wrasse Type for Zoanthid Eating Nudi

[special-ops-s2k]

Like the title states what are the best wrasses to combat Zoa eating nudis? What other fish are predators of these pests? Thanks in advance!

My 6 line is a beast and never eats prepared food and only eats pests and pods.

I’d want a pair of yellow coris wrasse. Fiercely get the job done, very interesting to watch.

Back a few years ago a well known zoanthid guy recommended a sea grass wrasse.

Thanks! That's what I was hoping to hear. Tank is bare bottom so I think 6 line is my best bet

I'd love to have a pair of yellow coris but my tank is bare bottom so I unfortunately don't think they would work out? They definitely require a sand bed correct?

yh they do need sand but what you can do is put a container of sand if the tank for them

The best thing for zoa nudis is to manually pick them off to help your wrasse. The easiest way is to wait until the lights are off and the zoas are closed and then turn your leds (assuming you have leds) to blue and the nudis glow making it easy to see them.

I have one in one of my bare bottom frag tanks, and I solve this issue the same way. It's a small container of sand under the overflow.
