What eats calupera?

[reefer1024]

I have a couple different kinds in my tank and i have decided i want it all out, because trimming it is a pain, I can get 99% of it out, but there is always some little piece that breaks off in a rock and starts to grow again. I figured if i could get some kind of fish (or invert) that would eat it, it would help me win the battle and rid my tank of this menace for good. Tang...Pygmy angel......? sea turtle??? manatee?

thanks for your help

Not to horn in on your thread but I'm bumping it so I can find out the answer myself. *grin* I have the "feather" variety.

I should've known better after that experience with planting mint in my flowerbeds.

I have a one spot foxface that took care of some I had.

I should add that I have a 20 gallon. It's not really a problem but if anyone has a suggestion for a nano-sized leaf eater I'm all ears.

I'm showing signs of grape caulerpa that keeps popping up. I'd rather not resort to a big herbivore (like a foxface, as much as I would love one) as I have my stock list all played out and don't really want to change it.

I have some of the feather type that came on some liverock. The scarlet reef hermits, astrea snails, and cerith snails seem to make short work of it.

Are you sure that they are eating calupera and not some other macro algae? I have had every invert that u mentioned, but never saw any of them eat it? Anyways I appreciate you response.
