Wrass eating montipora nudibranchs

[Chris Ferrell]

Hi, I have been fighting some montipora nudibranchs for a few months. I was able to dip most of my frags but I have a red cap and confusa that are pretty large grown to the rock work. I thought I was going to have to remove it. So I was talking to some one at the local aquarium shop 90 miles away, local for me. Anyway he suggested I get a wrass, I thought yeah right he' just trying to get me to buy a fish. I was desperate so I bought it anyway. To my disbelief within about two days I noticed no more eggs and no full grown ones. That has been about a month ago and the cofusa hast started to cover the spots damaged by scraping and the terrors in my tank. It was a melarnus wrass excuse me if I spelled I wrong. I also dip all my corals in coral rx when I get new frags. I was wondering if anyone else experience this with a wrass or was I just lucky to have one that eats anything that will fit I tiny mouth. Thanks

Ive never had them but a friend got a yellow crysus wrasse for that purpose. He did see it eating them but ended up losing all his montis cause he had a ton of the nudis too ltitle too late i think. I guess melanarus wrasses are hit and miss if they will become jerks or not.
