Is there a species of fish or crab that can help keep my purple mushrooms in control?

I have a 10 gallon nano reef that has been completely overrun with purple mushrooms. My zoos are basically gone, xenia is all but eradicated, and even my ricordia doesn't have any room anymore.

Physically removing them usually ends up in failure.

Is there a critter that might specialize in a diet of mushrooms that I could "employ" to help control the spread in my tank??

You might consider trading in the rocks that are heavily colonized for live rock or other coral.

good idea...


joes juice might kill them, but you will have to keep at it all the time, and wouldn't be worth the effort. I would sell or trade them as mentioned above...
