Six Line Questions

[nanoreefer]

<span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hey Guys, I’m interested in getting one of these guys to take out my red flatworm population but I'm worried about my harlequin shrimp. Do they attack these guys or inverts? I would go with a melanurus wrasse but this tank is a biocube and that obviously won’t work. I've read into Flatworm Exit but I’m terrified of using chemicals especially in a biocube so do you guys know of any other solutions or think the six line will fix my problem?</span></span>

I was thinking te same thing. I'm sure you can have a small one for a bit then rehome it.

6line can be VERY AGGRESSIVE they will eat shrimp, don't do it.

Edit: yellow coris are a much better choice.

It all really depends. Mine has never bothered any of it's tank mates. If anything it gets picked on by my clowns when he gets too close. I have a cleaner shrimp in my tank and he never touch it.

Dosent a yellow coris need like 60 gallons of room?

Do the 666line, the yellow coris will get 6-8", not a good nano fish. The six line will not eat your shrimp they do not get big enough, but they are mean.

Has anyone ever tried a Blue Velvet Nudibranch? Will this thing cause havoc in a reef?

I ordered one for a buddy of mines but never did follow up with him as to how it turned out.

What other livestock do you have in this tank, how big is your bio?

I've had a six line over two years... never a problem. Introduced a cleaner shrimp over a year ago... never a problem. Introduced a harlequin shrimp two months ago... still not a problem. The six line is not big enough to eat the shrimp... and I have not seen any aggression toward the shrimp.

Its a 14 with 2 clowns, harley, and a cleaner. Wasnt really wanting to add another but I need to get this flat worm population under control

I have a small six line in my 120 with two cleaner shrimp. I have never seen him pick on anything but the rock. I think you would be ok with adding him as well
