Best way to prevent is to QT. Pest come into aquarium as eggs. An can take a couple of months to show up in your system. So QT is the best choice.

No like what types of fish and invertebrates kill pests

Fish and inverts will only eat pest when they have to. It’s not their first choice. Example peppermint shrimp will eat aiptasia but only when there is no other food available example to fish food added to the aquarium.
