Filefish eat mushrooms and palys?

[input80]

Our filefish will eat zoas (I still don't know the difference between zoas & palys though lol), I still see lots of mushrooms in the tank it is in tho. Oh and ours eats majanos too , I know that's not what you asked Walter.

mine doesn't touch mushrooms or palys though wish would (at least the mushrooms)

Or are there other fish that eat mushrooms and palys (similar but bigger than zoas, Ian) like maybe another butterfly fish? Again, this is for my QT tank, not by DT.

Dogface puffer , I watched one destroy anything that lives lol including aiptasia mojanoes pallys and red mushrooms all chewed to the rock

My puffer ate all my green hair algae

My filefish eat leathers.. No clue if they would eat mushrooms

I'll be your "filefish" and take all your mushrooms

Dogface puffer sounds interesting. I understand they eat a lot, period... And probably grow fast, too. This is for a 33g QT tank, and would never put one in my DT. And his time, and duty, would probably be fairly temporary, too. The reason I was hoping for a filefish is that they are in some demand as aiptasia eaters, and should be easy to pass off to someone else.

My Filefish never touch zoa's , mushroom also big polyps he hate it

I wish mine would, he cleaned up the aiptasia but hasn't touched the ugly palys (or anything else)in his tank.
