A banana wrasse ?? reef safe and doesnt grow big!

Moon wrasse , but it grows big...
Solarensis wrasse - awsome when fully colored.

But Flatworm exit works like a charm

[HenkHugo]

6line is also a good choice

6line is the best, i have one and he keeps my clams happy and pest free, also my zoas

 

[dallasg]

i also have a leopard wrasse, keeps things neat and tidy

 

[butcherman]

i also have a 6line! great fish to have

 

[crispin]

ive got a delightful 6line, tame and fat, but he doesnt nescesarily go for bristle worms, pods he smashes though. id look at the lunar (moon wrasse) although i dont have experience with solarius so cant comment on them. leopard wrasse cdont normally feed on brisle worms either.

 

[maj]

So many wrasse to choose from,let me do lots more research on these guys.thnks for the advice peeps

Pretty much any Halichoeres are awesome IME.

How about a short nosed hawkfish.
It will most def sort out your tube worm problem.

short nosed hawkfish

Just keep them well fed, they will chow your cleaner shrimp and snails... I had a nutrient problem and I reduced feeding to once a day for 2 weeks and my hawkie started eating my snails and killed one of my skunk cleaner shrimp. He also went aggro on my hermits... As soon as I upped the feeding again he was well behaved. The local Banana wrasse are cool and the 6 lines are good too IMO

 

[maj]

The 6line seems like the favourite so far and looks very cool aswell.

what about the longnose hawk?

Here is a long read-up on them if you are interested.
Longnose Hawkfish, Oxycirrhites typus

 

[Lord_Blackadder]

Longnose hawks are pretty awesome. Quite peaceful as hawks go, though will still eat shrimps.

Why don't you go for a little group of Halichoeres chrysus? If you add a group of small ones/females then one will turn male. They add a lot of colour and movement to a tank and don't bother any other fish IME.

Have one of these in my tank and he is awesome.
