Melanurus Wrasse?

I had an exceptionally beautiful male Melanurus who was with me for several years. He was a magnificent beast and a great scavenger. The day I saw him at the LFS he pulled a bristleworm off a frag and slurped it down like spaghetti. He and my flame hawk were not the best of friends. They would never damage each other, but one would occasionally rush the other if it got too close.

I must have a rogue malanurus. I've had him a few years and he ate every hermit crab but one big one, every snail except one big turbo, ate a harlequin, 6 peppermint and a cleaner shrimp. If i put hermits in he eats them as fast as he can. Still a great fish, never bothered any fish, just wish I could have a CUC other than asterina starfish (won't touch them).
