Hi, I had an acetabularia (mermaids cup algae) outbreak in my tank, I ripped it all out but it’s still coming back. Any recommendations for a fish that would eat the small stalks that are coming back? Hopefully something relatively inexpensive and easy to find at a LFS. I have a 32g reef with a clown and pseudochromis. Thanks!
 
You need a fish that eats phosphate and nitrate. I know of no fish that eats any of these items, nutrients or this algae.
