Hozer21 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 OK so I have been looking for a nice reef safe fish to put in my 90 gallon that would remove (enforcer) a couple bristle worms that I have and a huge group of feather duster that are taking over my tank (flame). So I was hoping to get some help from you guys out there and it has to be pretty via (wife) so that is the other part of this of this question (whistle) so any help would be great . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd4308 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I like the Melunarus (could be off on spelling) aka chain link wrasse. I always keep one in my reef tanks because they eat all kinds of pests. They are also cool looking fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd4308 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Ok correct spelling is Melanurus Wrasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 6 line will eat small bristle worms. You can also make traps. Copperband butterfly eats feather dusters and is the more reef compatible of the butterflys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd4308 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I like the six line too they are just a little more territorial and ornery than the Melanurus. Cheaper though. The copperbands are awesome looking fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these might be the males. My experience has been pretty bad with them also. The smaller, less colorful ones ( maybe females) seem to be very hardy and I have had really good luck with them.
