I have a heavily stocked SPS, and LPS tank that I would like to rid of sponges. They are like angel hair pasta growing on a couple of my rocks. I have heard that some angel fish eat this, but I don't want to chance all my corals being nipped at as well. Is there a reef safe fish or invert that would clean this up for me. I have removed the 2 rocks and tried to tweezer it off but it always returns. It doesn't seem to be hurting anything but I think it's an eyesore.

I am interested to know an answer to this myself. I have a few sponges that are getting too close to my sps corals and have stopped them from spreading. I tried scrubbing it off, but it just keeps coming back.

You guys probably have lawns with no weeds too. Lighten up, I say.

I've seen emerald crabs eat them, but have never actually seen those type of sponges become invasive. Enjoy the biological diversity!
