Well, Add me to the list......

I'm gonna do that too. The ones that I ended up taking out of the display were ones that were starting to grow together and some that were 4-5" colonies that only had about an inch of flesh left on the tips. I'm not touching the 12"+ colonies. I have a melanarus and a sixline. I can't put any more wrasses in there because the melanarus will kill them. It tolerates the sixline though. LOL

I have a melanarus, a sixline, and a green coris wrasse. I had 2 yellow coris wrasses but they became fish jerky. Personally I think in this circumstance less is more, either way good luck. It always frustrating at first when you think you free of them, but trust me don't celebrate just yet because they can pop back up. Just keep on blasting away, your tank will like the extra detritus clean up even if you don't have any aefw left.

I put 2 yellow coris in about a year ago and the melanarus killed both of them before I could get them out. If I could find where it sleeps I could put him in my wifes tank and get a couple more yellow and green coris wrasses to put in. But I have to get the melanarus out first.... But for now I'm just gonna keep blasting away with the mj.
 
That's a bummer for me the green coris wrasse has been the brute, although the melarnus went on a pistol shrimp rampage some time ago.. I didn't think it would be capable of killing things as big as it did.
 
Yeah mine has killed off all my shrimp and hermit crabs too. The bad thing is that I feed my fish at least twice a day sometimes more. I just think the melanarus is just like that. It is defiantly the fattest fish in the tank......
