If you find a yellow tang that eats star polyps send him to me I'll give him a good home :lol: .
Seriously, yellow tangs are mostly vegetarians and while they have been known to occasionally pick on corals, it's far more likely for an angel to pick then it is for a tang :biggrin:

It will depend on the type of green algae that you have growing. If it's the hairy stuff, I doubt it will. If it's the macro stuff, there's a good chance that it will.

Either way, good luck.
