What type of fish will eat Bryopsis ?????

[ulua56]

I have 2 fish in my tank, A LMB for the fine green algae and a Sailfin Tang Desjardini for the Valonia. Has anybody had any luck with a fish that will eat Bryopsis ??????

I've heard that on occasion a foxface will pick at it. I got quite a few small emeralds, and once the hair algae was gone they finally started munching it. I still pull it out by hand every night, reduced my photo period to 5 hrs, and increased skimming and decreased feeding. Replacing carbon every 2 wks instead of every month also helped.

Believe it or not, my yellow tang cleaned my entire tank of bryopsis. Its been about 5 months since and I haven't even seen a trace.

I have a Lawnmower Blenny that loves the stuff and 2 foxfaces that pick at it.

I bought a juvi purple tang for my frag tank just for that specific purpose.

My hippo and yellow both eat it as well.

My LMB cleaned out my 26BF overrun with bryopsis...now he leaves a little garden for regular "pruning" snacks.

The foxface and yellow tang I had would not go near it, so your milage may vary...

I had a bi-color blenny that wiped out my bryopsis........
