I need to order about 50 bumblebees to get on my vermetids. But I have a yellow Coris and melanarus, and wondering if I am just giving these two some
Nice food to eat. Am I correct in assuming that my melanarus will eat my bumblebees over time?
 
I am almost certain melanurus will eat any motile invert they can fit in their mouths.
 
Darn. Figured as much. Donating him some food. Will have to try a different mode, like coral snow, to rid these things.
 
Great. My wrasse combo will be getting some nice food here soon, hopefully the bumblebees last long enough to put a dent in the vermatids. This hobby, if it isn't one pest its another:). I would take my wrasses out for a few weeks, if my tank wasn't so big.

Thanks for the confirmation.
