Coralline eating inverts?

[cameronh]

Besides asterina stars, what other inverts should I watch our for that eat coralline? Noticed some of it vanishing and turning white and would like to know if there are any other things I should keep an eye out for. Thanks in advance

A long spine urchin will plow through some coralline

My tuxedo urchin eats coraline, but in an established system it will grow faster than most animals can consume it.

It's grows pretty quickly, I just can't stand seeing it go away in some spots. A real bummer

It will die when it's exposed to air. Every time I move a tank it disappears.

Have you changed your lighting or checked your chemistry?

I did switch to a kessil.

It's been my experience that coralline can die off with lighting changes.

Well I hope that's what it is. Did it grow back for you?

Yea give it a while and youll hate it as much as i do. Dont get me wrong the purple red and green rocks are the look i like but it reaches a point were stuff stops working and breaking . constant scraping and vinigar bathing are sometimes a pain
