They are good for your tank, but only when they are small. When they get big like that then they become a problem. And ime they only get that big when they don't have predators keeping them in check. I added a wrasse, and after 2 days never saw another amphipod again.

Would a six line work as we'll?

6 line would probably work as well, however I wouldnt recommend one of those because they are fairly aggressive and don't get along with to many other fish. They also seem to like jumping out of the tank.

I read up on the 2 u recommended but it says they shouldn't be kept In a tank with a crushed coral substrate as I have. What's ur opinion in this? Any other wrasses that wouldn't need a sand substrate?

Im not to sure on the crushed substrate really. I know most wrasses that will be of any help usually need to go into the sand. People have been able to keep these fish in bare bottom tanks by just adding a little container of regular sand for them to go into at night. If it was me, I would probably put a container of sand in as well, and give the fish the choice. If it doesn't like your sand it will go into the finer stuff. I was also told they didn't like fine sand like my black sand. But they seem to have no issue with it at all. Also wrasses will pick at feather dusters, bristle worms and some snails. But the good out weighed the bad for me. Thats just my opinion though, I'm by no means a fish expert.

Will be making a trip to the store tomorrow that's for sure, thanks a lot for the help.
