    I had a small bryopsis problem a while back. I picked as much as possible but obviously that did not get rid of it all. I was under the impression that there were very few things that would eat it but I put a Coral Beauty Angel and a Humbug Dascyllus in several days ago and now the bryopsis is gone. I think the angel ate it. What do you guys think? Do you think one of those fish will eat the patch of maiden's hair I have also?

    I've never heard of an angel eating bryopsis, but if it did, you have a very valuable fish on your hands!
