I have some sponge that is taking over my Lobo... Causing it to recede. I know some angels will eat it. But I have a Coral Beauty as well as a Lamarck. Wondering if anyone knows what else eats sponge.. Nudibranchs? Anything?

Thanks

I don't know of any fish or inverts that eat sponge... But most sponge will die off when exposed to air for longer periods of time. If you can just pull out the rock its on, air dry it. If you can't do that than get a syringe and inject it with some Vinegar of peroxide. Small amounts won't hurt the tank.
