i have an 80 gallon (90cm x 60cm x 60cm) with a flasher wrasse, royal gramma, algae blenny and kliens butterfly. i will be returning the butterfly as it has been nipping at my sps. is there a magical fish that will eat aptasia, flatworms and nudibrachs? i don’t really want a halichoeres (sp?) because i haven’t had much luck with them… if the fish doesn’t eat aptasia im fine too( the butterfly ate all of them). im not interested in sixlines due to the aggression. would a possum wrasse eat the motile pest? how about a yellow hogfish? thanks!

No. You might find a fish that excels in one or two of these areas, but not everything. And more often than not, those chosen for pest control often become a nuisance themselves.
