I have a 96x48x16 lagoon frag tank which is bare bottom and not much live rock on racks. Id like to get a wrasse for cleaning duty should anything make it past QT, but being open top has its hazards.

Any recommendations on a good pecker that doesnt need sand and wont play Icarus on me?

Some people hate them, but my six-line does a great job, doesn't need sand, and isn't as much of a jumper as some...

(Although almost all fish are able to jump and you're taking a risk without a lid... Especially in a shallow tank)
 

i cant think

The only fish in there are the tang gang, a half black, sailfin, regal, powder blue and vlamingi.

I also have zero plans to add a top since its a frag tank and Im in there 3-4 times a day.

While I usually hate 6-lines for being aggressive little... in a tank this size with no one anywhere hear its size it just might work.

Ive also head the possum wrasses dont need sand, would they work?

I've seen my AC Neon Dottyback eat Bristleworms, not sure if it will eat flatworms. Also something is eating the Aiptasia, and I don't think there is anything else in the tank that would have an interest in them.
