Thank you. I will research them as well. My LFS recommended a leopard wrasse over the 6 line because we have a couple of shrimp. Any thoughts on that? I want to make a decision and let them know tomorrow so I can get in on their next order.

Been picking these damn snails off my rock/substrate periodically all afternoon. Sadly, there are a few. There were 30+ on the clam alone.

I'll know for next time. I'm not giving up on clams. I like them way too much.

Default clam help

thats why i'm buying the flasher wrasse for the bristle worms also arrow crabs and dottybacks work good, the arrow crab will eat the bigger ones, my problem is the other half thinks they look too much like spiders and won't let me get one.

as for the wrasses the leopard would be the better of the two to get IMO they definitely look nicer as well.

Default wrasse

like i said the flasher wrasse for bristle worms , the leopard wrasse coment was for the question for which one i think is better to have out of the leopard or the 6 line but for clam protection i have a canary and a flasher.

OOOHHHH my bad I really want to protect my clams and future clams. I have a small 6 line and a pink face wrasse but I thought I saw the pink face pick at one of my clams.

Too late! Canary is on order. Should be here soon.

Here's a pic of the culprits:
