My new Biocube is chugging along and past the cycle, and now I'm planning fish. Obviously, the number of fish I can keep in a 32 gallon system is limited, so I need to plan carefully.

One fish I'm considering is the mentioned McCosker's Flasher Wrasse. (I have in mind to also have a pair of Banggai Cardinals and some sort of a goby, possibly a Manderin if I can get a good crop of copepods going in the refugium.)

Years ago, I had a Six Line Wrasse in a 29 gallon tank. I did not like the resultant killing off of all the life in the sand and live rock that went with it. That sucker at all the bristle worms, copepods, little fan worms, and everything else on the rock to the detriment of the tank. Does this McCosker's wrasse eat all the little critters as well?
