Default coraline algae eaters
chitons and urchins can't think of any other creatures that go for coraline algae but if there're other soft fleshy algal matters in your tanks coraline algae would come second best. clipped on nori sheets so often those chitons and urchins simply ignore coralines in my tanks.

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