Rabbitfish, Tangs, and certain angelfish in my experience and in that order (i.e. rabbitfish will almost certainly go for it).

I once put a large clump of bubble algae in my display to try a grow it and my foxface rabbitfish finished it within two days. The clump was at least 3 or 4 times his total volume.

Do emerald crabs eat it? This stuff is very invasive and my tank is too small for a tang.

Hit and miss with emerald crabs. As I understand it, they will eat it but it is not their preferred diet.

I have one in there now that doesn't seem to touch it. I'm going to buy another one and see if it likes it better.
