My opinion is they are helpful in clearing uneaten food and debris. If you want to rid of them due to aesthetic reasons, a coral banded shrimp will keep them at bay such that they cannot be seem while the shrimp is active.

they come out during lights out. so far i caught 4 of these, 3 brownish/green ones and one orange. that orangy one i caught was living inside the skeletal structure of my super sun, though i read that once they grow longer will change color. so far in observing, they seem to really be just scavengers. the above caught 4 are still in isolation, and so far time to time with some corals and LS, i've seen no harm yet. oh yeah, never touch them or handle by hand

Tks for all the advices, cheers happy reefing to all.

try dragon wrasse. they will flip your chip to search for worm. but bear in mind they get a little aggressive when they grow bigger.
