Golden wrasse eating algae?

[muggiwhplar]

I've had a golden wrasse for a couple weeks now, and thought they were supposed to be carnivores. Yesterday, when I put in some algae for my tang, the golden wrasse started eating it too. It doesn't concern me, but I thought it was kind of odd. Has anybody else seen this behavior from them?

My sixline eats algea sheets also. As long as they eat some meat too it should be ok.

I think they are just such pigs they don't want to miss out. HeeHee
