Didn’t think they reef safe with a cucGet a dragon wrasse. Mine loves hunting down and eating bristleworms. I doubt fireworms will phase it.
This is in my 70 gallon with the mel. I think he got stung, see two bristles and he has been swimming with his mouth open for a few days. Thought it was a bristleworm issue until I found this nasty guy. Will the mel heal on his own?Get a dragon wrasse. Mine loves hunting down and eating bristleworms. I doubt fireworms will phase it.

As long as there no infection, catch him and remove the bristles also check as see if he has a bristle in his mouth that you could remove .This is in my 70 gallon with the mel.

Yep but totally worth it in my opinionDidn’t think they reef safe with a cuc
That wrasse might be worth setting up another tank just to have one . They are cool as S- - tYep but totally worth it in my opinion
She did tell me she was looking for a predatory wrasse in another thread.
Yes for my 125, also to keep the worms in check in that tank! Thats why I have the mel in my 70! Looking into a few of them you recommended to see who would work best for that set up! And yeah not worried about clean up crew, stocked fish to help with the cleaning. Looking at either the red coris or dragon you suggested!Yep but totally worth it in my opinion

Thats the issue, I wont be able to catch him in this tank. Rocks are pretty intricate and Ive got corals so I cant remove rocks. Plus I have venomous fish in there that would be hard to manuver around for the wrasse as quick as he is! Dosing food with kanaplex currently to make sure it doesnt get infected!As long as there no infection, catch him and remove the bristles also check as see if he has a bristle in his mouth that you could remove .
Yes it does have that, just compared to the picture!Not sure this is a fireworm , but a way to tell is its end known as cetae will look like this if fireworm
I accidentally pinched it a little too hard when looking so it kinda got decapitated… but if it is a fireworm maybe not a bad accident!Yes it does have that, just compared to the picture!
From my lfs but try here https://reefexclusive.top/fishes/dragon-wrasse-novaculichthys-taeniourus@Slocke where did you get your dragon wrasse? And is it aggressive?
