There are no natural predators for it that I know of, however, Dr Tim's Aquatics makes a product called refresh and waste-away that will out compete the red slime naturally. These are different bacteria remove waste from the aquarium.

I would just remove it by hand and sooner or later you wont have it anymore. I had a real bad case 2 years ago and just kept on removing it then a month or so later it went away and hasn't been back.

Perhaps you can help in research: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1903013

But the Cyano outbreak means there is an imbalance in your tank.
