What eats Dictyota?

[R33f3r]

I have some pest Dictyola and was wondering what eats it..... I can pull it, but it will return :mad2: :mad2:

I hear a foxface or naso tang can eat it, but it's 50/50. Please help. Thanks so much.

R33f3r,

Diadema urchins will eat this algae. Before you get one do some research on them though as I believe some individuals have been found to eat at least a few types of corals.

HTH,

I had a red emerald crab that ate every last bit of it.Never saw it again.

I had a lot of dictyota in my 300l tank and my naso lituratus ate it all in a week or two
