Wrasse Suggestions

[kingfisherfleshy]

Looking for a reef safe fish that will eat anything that is considered "nuisance" in tank. Any personal recommendations? I had a six line, and my bristleworms took off after he left. Anyone know of a fish that eats spaghetti worms? Thanks

spagetti worms are not a nuisance.. i wish i had more of them... if u have red flatworms id sugest a melnarous wrasse, yellow corris, or a six line

Yellow Coris or Melenarus wrasses.

Ye:squigglemouth:llow Coris and awesome fish but some of them pick certain corals
i also consider 4line wrasse or Christmas

I never had any issue with my yellow coris going after coral. Very active fish and will eat anything you drop in the tank. I would recommend it also.

Have had 2 and never seen them pick, just hunt all the time.

Another vote for a yellow coris wrasse.

8 line or 4 line wrasse otherwise green or yellow coris

Another vote for the Melenarus wrasse. Mine thinks he's a shark. Constant cruising at the top of the tank and then down on the rocks to find pods. Active fish. Loved watching him take a feather duster and beat it against the rocks to get at the worm inside. He's my best fed fish... a true fat wrasse.

yellow coris wrasses are work horse in terms of hunting for baddies in your tank. Great especially if your a zoanthids/paly guy.

yellow coris, radiant, and christmas I have one of each always on the hunt

Big fan of the yellow wrasse...I had a huge flatworm problem, and now I don't.

They were at one point in my tank...all of my rockwork was lined with little yellow tentacles. Now they have settled in, but I dont want them stealing food from my chalice, or doing anything like that...and they look nasty.

So coris, melanarus, or christmas is what im getting from all this.

Really hard to find good pictures of the 4 and 8 line wrasses...everyone on the internet has pictures of 6 lines...ha ha

wrasse

yellow coris has my vote...but he has a downfall too. I have been trying to trap mine for 2 months because he steals food from the duncans and acans. He's pretty sneaky, and smart enough not to get trapped

I won't bother with lined wrasses like 4-6-8 or 12 lined wrasses... all are PITA. get all agro on other wrasses and newer additions to the tank.

I love my yellow coris. Once of the most active fish i have.

 

[mfinn]

I had great luck with both the green coris wrasse and a melenarus wrasse

This wrasse will be the last fish added to the tank...I have a blue hippo tang...and also a clarkii clown. I am adding another clarkii before the wrasse goes in. Anyone have pictures of theirs? Always makes a thread more fun!
