melanurus

I have 3 fairly large coco worms in my tank now. I was looking into getting a Melanurus and I know they can go after pest micro tube worms, but would they also go for large display tube worms?

I received Melanurus wrasse May 23rd, 8 days ago. The photo above shows the second day after losing some scales. It did not show any symptoms the first day, but overnight it lost scales and now I can see some red sore. It's in qt with scopas, starry blenny, and sixline wrasse I isolated...

Purchased him from LiveAquaria in September 2022. He went into QT for six weeks and made it through just fine. He's perfectly healthy, but I'm sick of him picking off my snail population. He's currently in an isolation box in my display so if you come to pick him up you can observe the others...

So I purchased a Melanurus Wrasse two days ago and put it into QT, I am currently treating it for internal parasites/worms due to stringy white feces and the food is mixed to @Humblefish specifications using general cure. Today as I'm observing the fish I noticed its fin was damaged as well as...

So I added my new female divided leopard wrasse to my 4 foot mixed reef tank on Saturday and my melanurus wrasse is not having it. The melanaurus has been in my tank for approximately six months, but has never harassed any new fish additions. Also, the leopard wrasse is only an inch or two big...
