yes, rabbitfish!!! however, read they munch corals???

First hand, I've never observed it.

Second hand / reading, seems like they nip LPS/softies if they are hungry.

Also, parrotfish?

My rabbit likes brightly colored zoas. Parrotfish feed on sps.

What about an urchin? Mine eats all the dragon breath and chatoe that escapes from the sump.

just ordered a magnificent foxface and a black blenny.


going to up my feeding for my sps', hope these guys will help with the increase of algae?

oh yes they are quite good at that... I got a long spine urchin and they are no where as bad as the short spine ones "tuxedo" Urchins.

What do you mean by no where as bad as tuxedo?

Which do you think is better at eating algae?
