Hey reefers! I’m looking to add a pest eater (flatworms, bristle worms, etc) to my 13.5 nano. Current inhabitants are 2 clowns and a tailspot blenny. Was thinking a pink streak wrasse, but want to hear some opinions from some more experienced peeps :D
 
You could probably do a pink streak wrasse, but you'd want a good bit of rockwork for them to settle in. That'd be my choice as well given the limited options in that tank size.

Here’s a photo of the rock scape right now before the new inhabitants got in today - not the best, I know

Nice rock! Did that come out of an established tank? Should have a few spots to hide. Paradoxically the more places cryptic wrasse like pink streaks have to hide the more boisterous and "out" they usually are.

I tried to create as many bolt holes and swim throughs as I could. And no, these were LifeRock from my LFS that I’ve been pretty happy with so far!
 
Springers damsel is good for eating flat worms, not sure about bristle worms.
I have one in a 20 gallon along with two clowns and a yellow watchman goby and haven't had any aggression problems yet (13 months so far)
