Has anyone heard of pseudochromis (such as royal gramma) and Lamot's Damsel being good for critter control in reef tanks? Might be good for frag tank?

Not sure how great those are for critter control.. but I have always had a 6 line wrasses and Springer damsels for pest control. I know some ppl have said 6lines wrasse can be mean... But I've never had an issue with them.

I have a melanarus and a diamond goby in mine (but I have sand and rubble on the bottom) and a bunch of peppermint shrimp, snails and hermits.

Royal gramma aren't Psuedochromis. They also aren't pest eaters. The dottybacks (Psuedochromis) I've been around just feed from the water column.

I haven't heard of Lamot's damsels, and Google isn't helping me there.

I'm not trying to sound gruff here. Just trying to help.
