Clown fish are algae eaters?

Ok, so i have a really random decent size patch of GHA growing on my maxijett powerhead, weird thing is that's the only GHA that i have in my tank and nitrate and phosphates are 0 or close to 0 at least, but anyways my female clown has been eating away at it tonight.

Are they known algae eaters or is she just bored?

 

They are omnivores so plant matter is in their diet, but eating gha is new to me.

 

First I ever heard of that. Theare sure enuff cool fish with such neat personalities. Maybe just helpin to clean house. lol good luck with your move and stuff.

 

haha my clown eats the grass algea in my tank that i have! its so funny cause he poops out grass algea!

 

yup, i feed my fish meaty type food, so could they be lacking the nutrients they need from the omnivorous food?

yea shes doing it right now, llol and maybe she does want to clean house and thanks, im just glad i still have a while to just sit and watch my tank

ill be uploading a pic in a second of the spot that shes been getting at

 

hahaha thats awesome

 

haha yeah its so funny to watch!

 

She could just be nipping at the pods that live inside of the GHA too.

 

Not sure if they eat gha, however my clowns always would peck at the nori in the tank when I would feed my tangs.

 

here's a quick pic of the GHA a little blurry but you get the idea, it's kind of thick too, still no idea why i have it there when i have no other gha in my tank, oh well, at least its a food source for my clown
