i dont think a cleaner shrimp would eat it. Some fish do, or you can just pull it off the rock by hand when it pops up.

I believe hermit crabs may eat it, but not sure.

I only recently got an emerald crab and call me impressed!  He is an algae eating machine.

Throw some turbo snails in there, I've been having the same problem but with red hair algae and the turbos are eating it right up!
