Sea Grass Wrasse - Novaculichthys macrolepidotus
Description:
Often mistaken as a ‘green variation’ of the juvenile Dragon Wrasse, the Sea Grass Wrasse is best known for being able to control flat worm, pyramid snail, montipora eating nudibranches. They are relatively peaceful and require sand to bury themselves in. Adults may harass small fishes or small ornamental shrimps. It is often seen in shades of light to dark green, brown, or black.
I have mine with fire shrimp, clams, snails and no predation or aggressive behavior towards other fish. I think this is one of those fish like the lawnmower blenny that is a must in aquariums due to their service and behavior. Here is another good wrasse
Melanurus Wrasse - Halichoeres melanurus
Description:
One of the best kept secrets in the hobby, the Melanurus Wrasse is one of the best problem solvers for Planaria flatworms in reef aquariums. Forget medications that can harm or damage your delicate motile invertebrates! The Melanurus Wrasse will consume flatworms and you will see the difference within a matter of a couple of days. Once the flatworms are gone you have an attractive, friendly fish that will readily adjust to a captive diet and frequent the water column with activity. There are definate differences in the sexes as the female has a spot on it's tail and the male lacks that spot.
