Thanks, none of my fish are eating them, I have Tomini Tang, Yellow Tang, Flame Angel, Yellow tail damsels. Should I buy fish that eat them just to control the population? They only come out at night and my fish are all sleeping at night

Thanks

Wrasse love them if they can find them in the day. I catch them in filter sock and feed them during day. They don't hurt anything I am aware of
