natural predator of Dictoya

[tubastrea1]

can anybody suggest me which natural predators should I introduce to get rid of this algae?
it is invading live rocks and suffocating my corals.
suggestions are very welcome.:twitch:
thanks!

What's your tank size? What types of corals and fish do you already have in the tank?

It is an 800LT tank with mainly sps and some lps.
Currently there are some tangs and a lionfish, nevertheless I'm ready to temporaly remove to another tank fishes that may beahve aggressively versus new comers (if this is an issue).

Naso tang or a foxface would be your best bets. Neither is a sure thing, but they have the best chance of eating the stuff as far as fish go. Some of their species will, some won't. Foxface can occasionally be non reef safe and eat corals though, so be careful there.

ok thanks, pretty in line with other fellows.
I'll try them.
thanks for helping
