looking for fish that will help eat sponge

[nrosdal]

i have sponge popping up everywhere in little white spikes that turn dark in color and also coating the undersides of caves and ledges with thick layer of yellowish almost fluffy lookin sponge.

it is not a big deal for the most part, but it is coming up alot and the yellow stuff is bugging my colt if the current takes him into it.

looking for something like a dwarf angel that is likely to nibble on sponge and hopefully not my lps.

A wrasse might be better then an angel. They kind of keep a lot of different things in check.
They are also an awesome fish!

I think only some angelfish will eat those, but cutting down your nutriment will help also.

Sponges are healthy in an aquarium and I have read that they also help SPS growth.

Blue linkia or marbled starfish eat them.

i am pretty open to additions as long as it is not a full sized angel that will get bigger then 6-8". Maybe i will list my livestock and some suggestions will magicly appear :)

-6 line wrasse
-canary wrasse
-yellow and white choris wrasse
-coral beauty angelfish x2
-starry blenny
-lawnmower blenny
-bali tiger jawfish
-mandarin goby
-yellow watchman goby
-green chromis x 8
-fuzzy dwarf loinfish
-sabae anemone 6-8" across

If you upgrade your skimmer from that coralife thing to something larger and of higher quality that will help to cut down on their growth.

that is definitely something that is in the works... i am very much looking forward to not having to adjust the skimmer twice a week to prevent overflowing/producing no skimmate.
