Need fish that will eat my green star polyps (and not the SPSs)
I'm beginning to have a green star polyps outbrake...
The damn things are growing so fast that soon they will overgrow my SPSs...
I'm looking for a magic fish that will eat them and leave my SPSs, clam and LPS (blasto, hammer etc.) untouched... I don't have any soft corals...
Is there such magic fish?

Thanks,
Luke

None that I know of. Just scrape or peel them off and give to a fellow reefer.

Nope, no magic fish. Phyllodesmium briareum is a magic slug that can do it though. The trick is trying to find one.

lemon peel angels will kill them, don't think will eat them though and i don't know if they'd kill you other corals.
GIVE SOME TO ME!!!!
I'd gladly take some off your hands.

Yeah scrape/peel them off and either sell them or put them in the fuge...they work as nutrient export if I'm not mistaken.
