reef safe bristleworm eater?
The title says it all. I have pulled alot of bristleworms from one of my tanks and look to control them with a fish addition. It is a 55g with currently a coris wrasse and 2-3 gobies and blennies. Any ideas? I prefer another wrasse to be safe for my reef, but any ideas? None of my other tanks have this problem, so i don't think it is a overfeeding issue
give me ideas? Thanks, Scott

Six Line
Arrow crab Longnose hawkfish Coral banded shrimp(not reef safe in my opinion)

thanks israel, I thought of sixline but I worry about aggression. I was told they may fight with other wrasses. But I am looking the wrasse route if there is any others possibly

The coris wrasse will eat bristles. Control of the amount of food and what types are fed will help control their numbers as well.

My royal dottyback eats them if they are small enough. My husband has a green coris wrasse, and its a great fish. He eats bristleworms and will eat flatworms if you ever get them. They are a beautiful and peaceful fish.

the green coris i believe is a halechoeres sp. so they stay small. A good choice may be the banana coris (halechoeres chrysus) they stay small, reefsafe and will eat those little unwaned critters
