looking for melenurus wrasse for red flatworms

[fish daddy]

I called around and so far have not found a melanurus wrasse to control my red flat worms.

I was steered to the yellow or green coris. I may go green. I read that the green coris (or yellow) eats fire worms also, an added bonus. I will get this guy in green if a mel... doesn't turn up at a shop in the morning.

Does anyone know who has Melenurus in stock for sale? I was also told that melenurus would also bother snails. Does anyone have experience with either of these fish for red flatworm control.

Another shop says target mandrin. I would hate to get one of these guys, since all most have to say about them is starvation to death. I have plenty pods, but they still don't seem as bulletproof as either wrasse, plus it is not noted that they eat fireworms.


Thanks all.

Thanks, but he's out. He is one that has the green or yellow coris.

wow looked it up, those are pretty

i too would suggest the mandarin, but get a target one, much better odds at eating the flatworms and overall survival
