When I had a YT it would eat hair algae if it was short. I now have a scopas and it eats just about anything.

Mine doesn’t seem to like it much, neither does my Lawnmower Blennie. They pick at the rocks constantly so are clearly eating some of the algae varieties but it wasn’t until I added some Money Cowries that I started to see my GHA disappear.
