[I had just killed a bunch of aptasia with kalkpaste, so once the pumps turned on the tank had some 'snow' in it.

A pile of kalk nearby, but it skirted it fortunately.

[I have also seen them eat bryopsis.. :shocked:]

[They eat a couple of algeas bryopsis and Cheato for sure. They are also known to eat derbesia (hair algea) and a few others but usually only if they others aren't available. In other words it tends to be their least preferred.

Hear is one article about their diet,
