i have a 65g tank that’s got a couple flat worms here and there & wanted feedback as to what kind of wrasse to get that would be fine with firefish as i cannot live without mine (i love him dearly) i was thinking possum wrasse but i’d love to hear your thoughts / suggestions

thanks!

A possum wrasse or two would work great

Possum wrasses rarely do any damage to Flatworm populations. Youre really limited on space and can’t really have any small Halichoeres species like Leucoxanthus or Biocellatus. Maybe try a Pseudocheilinops ataenia however if they’re large flatworms it’s not likely to work.
The best pest eaters I can think of for your tank are the Chrysiptera damsels.
