Best wrasse for pest control?

[aaron186]

I have a 93 gal display tank with sand.
I previously had a Melanurus wrasse that just died. I went on vacation for a week and my power went out 2 days before returning sadly shorting out one of my apex power bars that controlled the autofeeder and temperature.

I want to replace the wrasse but I was hoping for suggestions on what to get. The wrasse was quite large and kind of a bully in the tank (it killed 2 attempts of putting a fairy wrasse in the tank)

Is there a good option for a fish that will help with pest control and be a better citizen? I wouldn’t mind adding 2 wrasses if possible too

Sorry see above

Yellow wrasse was really good for me, but will compete for pods.

I’ve dumped so many pods into the tank and have a bimonthly subscription to add new ones. My mandarin is pretty fat. Does the melanurus wrasse also compete for pods?

What species of tangs are they?

Not sure why it matters but a purple tang and a white tail bristletooth

the reason it matters is because certain tangs don’t get along with new wrasse additions and can also say if you’re maxed out on fish - Purple tangs can get to the size of a dinner plate.
