What fish eats grape calupra?

Crappy grape calupra got into my main tank, what eats it? Yellow, purple, powder blue, & Blue tangs definately do not in my tank. A foxface?

thanks
Andy

A scribbled rabbit prefers it above all things.

Yep, there is such a thing as a scribbled rabbitfish. A relative of the foxface, but with squiggly faint blue lines all over his sides.

Is it reefsafe?

Is it the small grape kind or the big grape kind? The small grape kind my rusty angelfish devoured but would not touch the big stuff.

unfortunatly there is no one fish type that eats it (in my opinion only) its the induvidual not the species some do of one species and some dont of the same sp , like I said it just in my experience and they may vary from one individual to another

my yellow and salfin tang love it! they will eat so much they get fat!

None of my tangs will touch it. By the way the "big" Kind is bubble algea. Emerald crabs are supposed to eat it.

I even have a sea hare that I put in about 3 months ago. I never saw it until last week & now it is larger than a softball, but must not be touching the Calupra..

The scribbled rabbit is reefsafe as long as he has a) learned no bad habits, and b) has enough caulerpa to satisfy his appetite. If he gets hungry nothing but other fish is offlimits. He's a good one to have and then remove when he's done his job. And he, like all rabbits, is venomous, so don't get stuck. Perhaps every reef club should own one and pass him around as needed.
