My yellow tang LOVES cheato.
I think most Hebivore fish in the tank will eat cheato.

Need a pic to help you out with your other question.

Tangs. My sailfin ate the ball that I had in my refugium that got sucked into the pump, through the wash, and into the display. He literally looked like he sucked it up into his mouth.

My sailfin tang eats cheato likes it's spaghetti, he slurps it up and it disappears.

none of my tangs and angels fish eat cheato. I wish they do though ..

Definitely tangs - they love it when I reactivate the return pump after feeding time and the refugium spits out a bit of the chaeto growing in there. Also, emeralds love the stuff too and can pick it out of the rocks much easier than the tangs can.
