What eats coraline algae?

I have a few bare patches that show up every morning. Just want to know for what type of hitchhiker I should be looking?

Coralline algae that only shows up in the morning

Sure you aren't mistaking cyano for coralline?

No, lol.

The coraline is there. It's the bare patches that show up in the morning :-)
