I recently acquired several pieces of coral from my uncle who was moving and decided to get rid of his tank. Unfortunately, I did not realize that the corals were carriers of parasitic anemones. The anemones took over the rocks in my tank and killed my Spotted Dragonet and a Cleaner Shrimp, all in a month. I decided to get rid of all of the rocks in my tank, salvage a few soft corals that did not have the anemones growing on them, and start over. I suspect the anemones will come back in the future just because they are so hard to get rid of, so I am looking into buying a wrasse to manage the issue. I have heard that some wrasses will eat these anemones.
My tank is 45 gallons, and currently contains a juvenile Doctor Tang, Caribbean Sailfin Blenny, Yellowtail Damselfish, and a juvenile Gold Nugget Maroon Clownfish. The Tang and the Clown are the most obnoxious fish in the tank. I would like to get a wrasse that will stay small (no bigger than 4 or 5 inches) and get along with my current fish. It must also be reef safe. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good wrasse to add to the tank? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
