red slime algae

I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not- Are there any inverts that eat red slime algae?

-certain snails?
-hermit crabs?
- sea slugs?
- sea urchin?
-sea stars?
crabs?

I want to get rid of my slimy red algae naturally before I do it chemically.

Thanks

I've haven't seen snails, crabs or fish touch it. Only got rid of mine with macro in a 'fuge.

Your last thread summed up your problem pretty well.
