Simple,at least single, question - What eats Gelidium pulsillum? Also know as red turf alga.

Hi Dwayne,
I would guess - some tangs, sea urchins, and lotsa amphipods.

Dr. Ron,
Thanks for your quick reply. I should have worded my question differently. :D
Do you know of any slugs or snails that would red turf alga?
What type of urchin would eat red turf alga and be best suited for a reef tank?
Thanks
Dwayne

Hi Dwayne,
Interestingly enough, other than coralline algae (eaten by docoglossan limpets), I know of no red algae eaten by any snail.
Peculiar....
