Flasher wrasse

Do any of the flasher wrasses eat pests such as an abundance of Arthropods or worms?

Side note are McCosker's wrasse easy to keep the LFS lost three one which died in my tank and I'm waiting for a replacement.

McCoskers are no harder to take care of than any other wrasse. What is a difference is the lfs you buy it from.

I heard that their survival rate is a little lower during first stage as their small.
1st stage transport and aclimate from the chain.

What would you all recommend for a wrasse to help control my population of Arthropods and worms in a small 30g cube

Probably sixline but there jerks

Any other type of fish you all think would work? Worms not super worried about but way to many Arthropods

Doesn't have to be a wrasse I will take any ideas of a good fish for a 30g that eats large Arthropods

Pseudocheilinops ataenia and Wetmorella species, as well as dottybacks. Pseudochromis elongatus and P. fridmani are peaceful for dottybacks.
