What eats Coraline algae other than urchins?

[globaldesigns]

I just looked up what a chiton was. Wow! they look like trilobites. Anybody ever used these? If so, where can one get some?

There was one at J&L about a week ago. Not listed anymore though .. might be worth shooting off an email to them plus the usual local suspects too although I can't say that's ever worked for me (best way to ensure something never comes in is to ask for it.. at least in my universe )

had some chiton hitchhikers, never noticed them eating the coraline. If they were, wasn't to the bare rock like urchins.

There is some reef safe parrot fish. My LFS (raging reef) had a few of them in his SPS tank and they were constantly eating coralline algae.

I have tons of them in my tank, but they only seem to eat the coralline off the glass. They stay small (I've not seen one bigger than 6mm) and are pink, purple or white.

If you want I can send you some - although it's a long trip for some hitch hikers

i wouldn't mind in getting some lol, its a pain in the but to scrape the back panel of the tank lol.
