foxface vs algae
When added to a tank, will a foxface eat all my algae, including Botryocladia sp.?

oh.. and if your troubles are particularly bortycladia... large tangs will eat it too... i have a sailfin that loves it... i will hold rock from the fuge with botryo on it and the sailfin will eat outta my hand
problem with large tangs and rabbits for botryo control.... they get large.... that and after you get the botryo controlled... you may decide you dont like the rabbit for some reason botryo is the most PITA stuff i've ever dealt with in a reef system. it really sucks when it gets in your overflow and starts clogging the overflow teeth and plumbing drains i think i spelled the name of the red bubble algae differently each time i typed it, but you know what i mean

Yes. My foxface lo attacked the Botryocladia Sp before it went for anything else. Problem was, I liked the Botryocladia! I'd love to find something that will eat hair algae and caulpera, but leave the Botryocladia alone.
