I am looking for a fish that will help with eating my zoas. I have thousands. pulling them is time consuming and a real PITA. They are taking up real estate meant for SPS and other coral, and growing on coral that I wish they wouldn't grow on. I want to remove as many as I can safely. What fish have you kept that ate your zoas, whether you wanted them to or not?
 
I don't know if there's any certified zoa destroying fish out there.

Best bet might be a rabbitfish..... Here's the rub though, assuming you "force" the issue and feed it lightly, and then it gets a taste for zoas, whats stopping it from getting a test for other things once the zoas are gone?

PITA, sure, but probably best.

Maybe you can find someone that wants them and has live rock for trade?
