I seem to have let the grapevine get a little out of hand. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what variety of fish (tang) might be an especially good grazer? I added a hippo tang two days ago but he is rather small, (but well fed). It is a 65 gal. tank with no other fish, some snails, em. crabs and various corals.
Thanks for your ideas.

an algea blennie might munch some but probly won't help too much. tangs are great for eating that stuff. in my experience , yellows purples, and scopas are the best. just my opinion. but, you say you let it get out of hand. how out of hand is it?? you might want to start pulling that stuff out so a tang can even catch up on it cause that stuff grows FAST! :cool:

I'm pulling out enough to fill an 8 oz coffee cup every 10 days or so. I hadn't thought about the scopes tang. Thanks for the idea.

You might try to return some of the excess to a lfs that you do regular business with.......every time I go to my favorite lfs I bring them a bag or 2 of calupera from my refugium.......$10 credit per bag towards purchases.........they resale it to customers........... :cool:
