Foxface tolerant algae

Algae Barn,

I'm thinking of some decorative macro in my DT, but I have a foxface. Is there anything he won't eat and that won't take over the tank that you can recommend?

I have a fox face and bristle tooth tang. I started keeping sea lettuce in my fuge because it was recommended as something they WOULD eat, but they don't seem very fond of it. But foxface's are the most voracious and efficient herbivores I've ever kept so really no algae's are safe...

I guess any reefer who can't afford $50 for and experiment is probably in the wrong hobby. I'll probably buy something colorful and chalk it up to slightly overpriced food it he eats it. But I'd prefer not to risk a tank takeover if he doesn't like it. Is there anything that won't spread, or at least not spread by spores so I can just cut it out from one place if it gets too big?

I already have chaeto in my sump, and it's not very pretty. Anything that's not green is probably desirable.

Red ogo is fairly easy to manage and it is desirable. Algae barn carries it. Chaeto may out compete it but it was good in my sump

Thanks Ben! We do carry Red Ogo and while it will be a pretty display macroalgae I would assume your foxface would probably like it. 1oz portions start at just $15 so it might be work a try
