Does anyone have experience with fish that will prey on micro brittle stars? I've heard mixed opinions on Halichoeres coris wrasse, though haven't personally seen one eat a brittle star. I've seen some hogfish in the Bodanius genus pick at them, but they tend to get a bit too big for my needs.

Also open to invert suggestions, though I'm not aware of any other than bongo shrimp which seem impossible to find these days.

Thanks!

My Timor Wrasse slurps them like spaghetti.

I've tried to introduce them a few times in my tank and he digs them up.
