ajweeks7989 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Has anyone else had an issue with a wrasse (I have a 6 line wrasse) nipping at SPS. Recently returned home from vacation and noticed that the wrasse has been nipping at my birdsnest. I have moved it twice and he continues to nip at it. It hasn't nipped at any of my other corals yet. I feed him flakes, brine and mysis shrimp on a rotating basis. Thanks, AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'd say pull him. But that's me. My 6 line has never been a bother to my corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+etannert Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Wrasses are known predators of all sorts of small bugs that may live in our systems. Birdsnests are not a typical host for redbugs, but could he be going after something on the coral rather than the coral itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
