ANY SUGGESTIONS? Anyone know if a Twin-spot maori wrasse or similar species that eats starfish?
Any help would be appreciated as I am tired of looking at all the white blotches of coraline that these guys are eating. Thanks for the help in advance guys/girls.
Oh yeah, My tank is 85 gallons so nothing too large!

Great Ryan you have a healthy reef. They seem to disappear for a while and than come back.
I would not worry about them and would not recommend you get a fish to deal with them unless you are going to get the fish anyway.
