a little opposite of the norm: what fish are obligatory softy eaters?

[psykokid]

A freind and I just took down a 125 gallon tank that had a boat load of live rock (two 35 gallon brutes full) Lots of nice big pieces but they are covered with little pest anemones (maybe majano's) ugly mushrooms and brown zoa's.. What fish are obligate softie eaters? We'd like to introduce something into the storage bin we have these rocks in to clean them off. Cooking the rock wouldnt really be a good option as its all covered with coraline and all sorts of good sponges and other microfauna.

I doubt your going to find a better way to get the rock clean than to "cook" it. You'll lose the majority of the bad and also some of the good. Lucky for you it's easy to grow coraline, sponges and such. I don't think any single animal can solve your problem.

Closest you will find will probably be from the butterfly family. But it is unlikely that you will find one that will eat everything. Not to mention several butterflies can be difficult to acclimate to aquarium life, let alone a freshly setup rock bin.
