I’d remove the coral you see them on and treat if possible to reduce population. Wrasses such as a coris wrasse can be great natural predators if you have a suitable tank for it (needs sand).

If the Mel isn't eating them then I would just go with the flatworm exit. Mel wrasse are one if the best pest eaters you can get.

I am not sure if hes eating them I do think the numbers have gone down a bit but I would still like to try other wrasses

I would be careful with adding other wrasse as Mel wrasse are jerks 90% of the time
