Which fish if more affective at controlling bristle worms at their small stage?
Copper band fish or Wrasse?????
The Copper band is a great addition to the tank and I found a wrasse that’s pretty unique looking as well but not sure if it’s a certain wrasse or all wrasse that eat bristle worms

Green bird wrasse will eat bristleworm but they get big and are semi friendly.
Ideal is arrow crab which eat them exclusively and diligently.

He'd get a good feed in my tank. I have a couple of big ones and my QT is a bristleworm breeder.
