Anyone know anything about Wrasses?

[Gtownguy487]

Im looking to buy a wrasse that will eat flatworms and other badies like nudis.I had a green wrasse but he wasnt too nice to my other inhabitants. I have feather dusters so im sure I will have to put them into another tank im sure.. Id like a wrasse that stayed pretty small but ate the bad stuff.

Thanks in advance

a Sixline is notorious for eating bugs, but also for being jerks....

I prefer the 4 line if you can find one

Yellow coris wrasse is by far the coolest wrasse i've had. He keeps to himself and cruises the corals all day looking for pest.

Yellow Wrasse or Sixline...

On liveaquaria's site they say the yellow actually will also eat pest off of other tank mates... Which one would stay the smallest?

I have a harlequin shrimp that is about 6inx4in which wrasse would be best for me

Ill be picking up a sixline i guess.. Seems that is everyones best pest controller

I'd go with the Yellow. 6-Lines can become bully's.

A Hoevens or Vroliks Wrasse stays fairly small. Any wrasse in the Halichoeres genus will be a flatworm, tubeworm, and pyramidal snail eater (along with feather duster eater). A sixline's effect on such nuisance is marginal at best.
