Fish that eats Gha?

[chris k.]

Any fish that will eat gha or help control it. Or inverts. I have a mixed reef with turbo snails and a few hermit crabs. 2 clowns and a firefish.

Knowing tank size will definitely help with recommendations. A couple you could look into would be a lawnmower or starry blenny. Several tangs are good algae eaters but again we don't know what your tank size is.

If the tank's too small for a lawnmower, a tailspot blenny might help you out a bit.

I put a lawnmower in my 75. 1st fish I actually see eating gha. Also a tuxedo urchin is munching on the stuff.The urchin is pretty good at it ! I need another one !

Dang my tuxedo only seems to eat coralline algae. Hasn't touched GHA in my tank. I'm going to have to sit down and have a talk with him!

There Ya go Chris, A few options for Your consideration !
Salty I talk to my fish all the time ! Shoot I watched a movie where the fish actually spoke to each other in English ! So I would tell that urchin as well !

I have a 110 gallon. Ty

Sea hares are known to eat gha.

 

[Bluecbs]

In a 110, you can have a bristletooth tang or a foxface. If you decide on the tang, put it in towards the end of your list.

It's a good idea to strip out as much hair algae as possible first as many herbivores will ignore it if it's too long but finish it off if it's short. This could mean you have hermits or snails already that might do the job.

 

[chris k.]

I scrub it every weekend. Then do a wc. It just keeps coming back

Lettuce sea slug, Rainford/hector goby, a darn acclimated molly.
