Fishko · Feb 4, 2020

I just go over to my tank to check my alk and see my wrasse picking at the torch it seems the torch sent out a sweeper tenticle and was nipping it. I dont know what to do its a six line wrasse. The torch closed up a little yikes. Heres a photo caught it red handed will my torch be fine. Was the red thing a sweeper tencticle

Wrasse like to pick off worms and bugs off of corals. Wonder if he mistaken it for a Spaghetti worm? Is this the first time he has done this and Did he repeated pick at the torch?

As said above, a Sixline is a great fish to have when you have Torches and Euphlyllia. They pick off Nuisance pests....
You will probably be ok. Any damage or floating tentacle pieces around?

No its seems it was only the sweeper tenticles. It opened up almost the same size as it usually does maybe a 5 inch ball almost. So it should be good

i had a few red planaria i saw on a rock added the wrasse and it disapeared over night
