If you have a success story please share the specifics.

There were a few guys on the ZEOvit forum who have used Six Lines to keep AEFW in check. Actually one of the guys hasn't had anymore at all since adding a few 6 lines. I think it was 6 of them. He didn't keep all the wrasses though.

He would blow the AEFW off the corals and the wrasse would follow him around eating them. It took a long time but eventually they went away.
