Admonition Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have an IM Fusion 30L, approximately 20 gallons in the display area. I'm looking to stock mostly softies and LPS with a few SPS later on. I have some snails and two scarlet skunk shrimp (tank thread is in my signature). Although my tank will be mainly for corals, I also want to stock a fish or two. My goal for the fish are utility first and aesthetic second. That being said, what would you recommend fish wise for this? I was thinking a six line wrasse? Objections? Other recommendations?

TeamIM24 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The six line will each flat worms if you ever get any. There is a tiny goby (can't think of the name) that eats parasites. Link to comment
Admonition Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah that was my reason for the six line, I keep reading that it eats pests and shouldn't harm my coral. I wasn't sure if there was anything else similar I could add besides the one wrasse Link to comment
Admonition Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Any other suggestions? I did a little more research and I keep hearing split comments on their six line wrasse' eating cleaner shrimp....I'd prefer to not have my scarlet skunk shrimp eaten lol Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 How about a lawnmower blenny? That's a handy one for algae control. Link to comment
Admonition Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 I've always loved looking at those guys but at an adult size of 5 inches, it's too big IMO. Plus, I have the algae eating taken care of. But thanks for the suggestion! Link to comment
1.0reef Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Pink streak and Possum wrasse (Flatworms, pods), Mandarins (Flatworms, pods), Damsels (Some eat algae, mine eats larger pods), some smaller gobies pick off parasites off larger fish, namely cleaner gobies, which are captive bred as well.
