recommendation to replace 6 line wrasse

[rschneid]

So, my 6 line leaped out of my tank. To be honest,, good riddance.! He was very very hostile to any other fish that I ever tried to add. Two fish had to go back to the LFS for refunds. I have a 75g + 30g with an extremely bio-active refugium. Tons of macro algae, thousands of copepods. Fire worms, snails, you name it, its probably in my refugium . I have lots of corals all of which are growing really well.

I currently have 1 sail fin tang, 1 yellow tang, 1 fox face (the algae control squad) and 1 scooter blenny (the grounds maintenance guy)


I want to add back one or more pest control fish that will fit the niche that the 6 line was filling. But I don't want an overly aggressive fish.

Suggestions please?

Melanarus or yellow "coris" wrasse are both good for flatworms, but may out compete your scooter for pods.

what about a melanurus wrasse or any of the Halichoeres wrasses. They seem to get along with everyone with the exception of the occasional misfortunate peppermint shrimp. They are beautiful to boot

My Yellow corris is worthless. He doesn't touch flatworms. Just my experience with one.

IMO there is no replacement for a Sixline when it comes to flatworms. Sixline should be the last addition however in a 75 gallon and the can be *******s even then.

However my Holloween hermit seems to have done a number on my flatworm population. Every time i see him, he is picking off flatworms.
