Yes, they do eat redbugs. I am not sure if they would cure a tank that has them but they do have value in this regard.

been there... If you're getting the fish just for purpose of killing red bugs - don't bother. It wont fix the problem. With big luck you can somehow control infestation but corals will still suffer and every new 'qualified' addition will get infested. Get the cure and treat the tank. Just take your shrimps and crabs out of the tank first for a week or two.

6 line wrasse eats them, but i recommend flatworm exit. just follow the directions to the T. hope this helps.

Interceptor works. Research it and do it. You'll be glad you did.
