What kind of fish or invert can I use in my frag tank to control chaetomorpha, zebrasoma or maybe bristle mouth species?

My hippo tang seems to like it. Comes out much in the same condition it went in though.

	Paracanthurus Hepatus Paracanthurus Hepatus-Hippo Tang Hippo tangs are really good tangs for a reef tank and usually don’t have any problems with any other fish, outside of other hippo tangs. There are very ich prone and need to be quarantined before placing them into your main tank. They do grow to a pretty large size, but most small ones will do well for some time in small tank, 55gal being about the smallest as anything smaller and they will outgrow it in a short time. When purchasing small Hippo tangs, try staying away from the very small sizes, usually around a nickel or so, as they have a very bad track record and most don’t make it. If you're going to get a small Hippo, try getting one that is at least the size of a quarter or even larger.

lol I didn't think anything ate chaeto..it's better to just give it away since it is such a useful and beneficial part of our ecosystems.

It's not like I'm cultivating it for nutrient export, the stuff was probably on some frags that I bought and is now infesting my eggcrate platform.

[TRIGGERMAN]

why not? that's what it's for..it's like having trees..trees take in bad and put out good

[pecan2phat]

Cause it's a frag tank and not a refugium,

Seriously though it's almost nussiance like when you don't want it.

Can't you just pull them off the eggcrate? they should mostly come off easily.
What annoys me is all the tiny crumbs of chaeto which gets caught on the intake of powerheads

One shore crab in the tank should do the trick.
