Unfortunately, my tank is not big enough to house a Naso. It's a shame because they are really cool fish.We have a Blonde Naso Tang that loves chaeto. Eats it like it is candy.
That's odd I have a turbo and a trochus that pull the graveyard shift in my fuge and neither will touch it. I have seen them on top of it eating film algae and gha but never the chaeto it self.Emerald crabs and turbo snails eat mine.
There's no downside to trying it. I could use another emerald crab or two.So I bought some display tank dragons breath today. Rubber banded it nicely to a frag rock, set it in my tank. Within 1 minute, my emerald crab Godzilla'd that **** and had picked up the chaeto, and frag rock and was eating it.
Moral? Maybe an emerald crab will eat your chaeto like mine apparently does?
It's hilarious. I have mostly higher end lps in my tank, and super colorful fish that my 4 yo daughter picked out (it's her tank), yet the WHOLE family just finds themselves looking for that dumb spider legged emerald crab. Hes literally the star of that tank. What a personality!There's no downside to trying it. I could use another emerald crab or two.
Funny how that happens isn't it?It's hilarious.

Yes! Thank you! I will definitely look into this further.If you want something that absolutely mauls chaeto, get a long spine urchin. My urchin is about 10” diameter, and he has eaten at least his own body size out of that chaeto ball in the last few days. I don’t expect it will be much longer until the entire 20” ball of chaeto is gone. He likes to hang upside down and eat it from the bottom up.
