Yes, I would stay away from those. Once they are in your tank, you will have to tear it apart to get them out. Highly likely they will become nasty terrors. Beautiful but nasty.

Well after I told my nieces that their first choices weren't an option anymore and they can't decide one or the other fish anymore and as per usual kids being kids got into an argument over what to decide on

So I am looking for a wrasse that has bristle worm on their menu need the population controlled plus really don't like the lil buggers either and another fish that will co-exist with the wrasse and likes to swim

Eventually my 95 gallon will be bit full of fish but most will be hiding in the rocks

current fish that will be going in the tank
2 black percula clowns
4 green chromis
1 yellowtail damsel
1 neon goby
2 peppermint shrimp
2 Sea Cucumbers

Wish list
1 lawnmower Blenny
1 wrasse (preferable with bristle worm on the menu)
1 swimmer with colour

I am open to fish suggestions

First i'd throw that damsel in the toilet. Haha j/k but he'll eventually kill your chromis or possibly clowns. Take it to the LFS.
My next fish s going to be a long nosed hawk fish. You say your CUC has personality, well this fish will give you hours of enjoyment. Really cool and I believe they do a number on bristle worms. Look it up.

I'm just going to put it out there that I've had a few sixlines over the course of my reefkeeping career and I've never encountered a d-bag variety personally. I have however seen them in other's tanks. I personally keep sixlines on my to have fish list because they've always been such good little workers for me. Granted as previously advised, YMMV, but I thought you probably might want to know that it is possible.
