I was wondering what people with bare bottom tanks do for pest control since Halichores wrasses are out of the question. I know you can use Lined Wrasses but I don’t want that much aggression.
 
Hmm are they agressive like the other damsels?
 
Coral banded shrimp are good for bare bottom tanks, they are constantly keeping bristle worms in check.
 
QT our corals is the best way form of pest control, IMO. Easiest way to control pest in a display is to not add them in the first place.
