what wrasse for snail control

[H2OLUVSME]

I've had two croceas in my tank for quite some time now. I've never seen any pyramid snails until a few weeks ago. also, I've always had a wrasse in the tank until recently. im not sure the wrasses were controlling the snails, but i never noticed any until recently. i really want to add a wrasse to the tank, and think i should add one that will help my clams out a bit.

also my clams are acting really weird since I've noticed the snails. the two of them have attached to each other. its really weird they have their feet attached to each other. I've never seen anything like it (in person or pics) and am wondering if its some stress related thing.

anyway....recommendations for a wrasse?

if any one is interested in pics of the odd couple i can try and post a few tomorrow.

in my 75 i currently have:
YWG
rainfords goby
scooter dragonet
percula clown
swallowtail angel

i plan to trade the clown in for whatever wrasse i get.



BTW, I've tried two 15 minute FW dips that helped for a few days each time

the best way to control pyrams is for you to remove them by hand. some wrasses will eat them but the wrasse will sleep at night,and that's when the snails come out to feed. also the length of time it would take for a FWD to kill pyrams would also kill the clam

Four line, Six Line and Eight line wrasses are supposed to be good at controlling pyramellid snails. Everything I've read suggests that hand removal each night for a couple of weeks is the best method of removal and then your wrasse may be able to control any further snail pop-ups.
