Totally agree with frederickk... I think I read somewhere that if its really tiny and just starting to grow some hermits would feed on it like blues but don't know if its sure thing

tiny blue legg hermits are your best bet in my opinion. get the smallest you can <1". Also you should have an assortment of snails.

Remember the best defense is a good offense!
