Tunicates do not eat coral, they are filter feeders.

I think he was refering to the angel and butterfly fish
I have a mixed fish and reef tank of 125 gallons and have recently
seen an explosion of tunicates. I know angel and butterfly fish eat
these, but they also eat corals which I dont want.

How else should I get rid or slow down the tunicates? at the rate
theyre going theyll cover every surface in a few weeks.

Tunicates do not eat coral, they are filter feeders. what type of
tunicates do
you have? The best idea would be to get an animals that eats them to keep
them
down. The fact they grow so well in your tank show you are doing something
right. many speceis of tunicates are very pretty delicate sessle
invertabrates.
