I am partial to six line wrasse. They are hardy and working the rocks to find all the things you don't want to know about. I put one in a tank that I had to repeatedly treat for flat worms and now, no problem.

I have a yellow corris and 6 line wrasse and the pair of them are constantly moving in and about the rock work keeping it clear of pests. Two of the most active and visually attractive fish in my tank, even more then the yellow tang. Neither show any hint of aggression towards each other or anyone else in the tank and they both absolutely ignore the corals as well. The only complaint I have is the corris wrasse likes to sleep in the sand bed as well as dig in it from time to time knocking over the corals I have on the bottom of the tank and kicks up a silt cloud when he does that. It's a minor thing and not something I'd say would detract from the usefulness of the fish.

Do you have a lid on ur tank? I want wrasse but I don’t want a lid. I know I need to make one for my overflow box because there has been a lot of wrasse deaths because it’s open
