6 line wrasse

[Yonkers28]

Will a 6 line wrasse really eat pyramidellid snails ?
I've had a crocea clam for over a year now and the other day I noticed it wasn't opening up fully. So I checked and sure enough there they go. I remove.d them with a brush in another bucket. Has anyone had luck with 6 lines?
Thank you guys

6 lines are nasty. Very nasty. Not only towards wrasses but also other species.

I will not add one if I were you.

Yes, they will eat them. Best to remove from your tank.

So the best thing to do is to remove the snails by hand ?

Sixline wrasse are the superhero janitor's of the reef but they are not friendly with any other fish that aren't atleast 4 times larger, this fish is a tough customer.

I dont have any coral or those type of snails but my 6 Line is pretty cool. It stays to itself most the time. Once in a while I'll see it give the Yellowtail a chase but besides that...nothing.

Everyone says there r aggressive though. Maybe when it gets a bit bigger. It was also the last fish to be added if that makes a difference.

I have had them in a small tank and they didn't bother the other fish. But my guess is that it works only when the 6 line is last to be placed in the tank.

i agree. my 6 line is a pus** ":meow:" scare of everything.

and it eats everything :spin: its always picking at rocks so i assume it eats whatever we cant see. great fish to clean the tank.

I was suppose to stop by and check out ur lighting. I'll take the snails if u need them gone. My tank could use the extra help to get it cleaned up.
