(Just a disclaimer, I've had success with X-mas worms in the past)

So the one thing that's always made me not get a Possum Wrasse is I've heard they go after small fan worms. I've seen some recent stuff of Possum Wrasse not going after people's X-mas worms. The thing I'm worried about is the Wrasse picking at the Worms to the point where the Worms shed their frills. What's the likely hood of a well-fed Possum Wrasse picking at X-mas Worms and has anyone had any success housing the two together?
 
No problem mixing those at all I’ve kept a Possum wrasse for over 5 years and it’s never touched a tiny hitchhiking fan worm let alone any Christmas tree worms.
 
I've got a gold banded possum wrasse in a tank with two larger feather dusters and a smattering of smaller varieties and they're all going strong. It will pick at the rocks, but I've never seen it go for anything but microfauna.
 
Thanks you guys! I think that seals the deal, if I find one I think I'll pick it up. They've been a favorite of mine for a long time
