seaweed-Eating Saltwater Fish
In saltwater aquariums, seaweed and macroalgae are essential food sources. Many herbivorous fish, such as tangs and rabbitfish, depend on seaweed for daily nutrition, while omnivores like angelfish and clownfish use it as a healthy supplement. Offering live seaweed (Ulva, Gracilaria, Chaetomorpha, etc.) keeps your fish healthy, colorful, and active — and helps prevent them from grazing on corals.
1. Tangs & Surgeonfish (Acanthuridae)
Examples: Yellow Tang, Blue Tang, Kole Tang, Sailfin Tang
Among the most enthusiastic seaweed grazers
2. Rabbitfish (Siganidae)
Examples: Foxface Rabbitfish and related species
Constant grazers, thrive on live macroalgae in the tank
3. Angelfish (Pomacanthidae)
Examples: Regal, Queen, Emperor, Flame, Coral Beauty
Omnivorous — eat seaweed along with sponges and meaty foods
4. Blennies (Blenniidae)
Examples: Lawnmower Blenny, Tailspot Blenny, Bicolor Blenny
Specialized algae grazers that benefit from live seaweed growth in the tank
5. Wrasses (some species)
Most are carnivorous, but Halichoeres wrasses and a few others nibble on seaweed occasionally
6. Damselfish & Clownfish
Omnivores that sometimes eat seaweed or pick at live algae
7. Butterflyfish (some species)
A few species will eat seaweed in captivity, but most prefer corals and invertebrates
8. Herbivorous Gobies
Certain species graze live algae regularly, especially in tanks with natural macroalgae growth
