I seem to have a few of these guys to. Tho they dont seem to be doing any harm at the moment. Im not big into chemicals or manual siphoning. You mention natural predators but dont name any. Please do. thanks pauls

Paul - some natural predators would include various wrasse species, such as the 6-line wrasse, and the mandarins. There is also the velvet sea slug that will eat them. The fish are hit or miss. Please research any fish and the sea slug prior to purchase, and make sure your tank meets their requirements.

I have had these little pests in my tanks before and my Mandarin didn't touch em. So I don't know if they would be a good candidate, but then, Mandarins seem to swim to the beat of their own drums anyway. Maybe you'd get lucky and get one that does.
