Why? You don't like the money you have spent on your softies?

Matt I had a hum trigger that loved softies but not reaf safe, that's going to be your issue all the fish are not reaf safe that eat coral

What type of soft corals are you looking for a fish to eat?

Dude there is no magic fish like that. I would buy three to rid me of these darn mushrooms. Patience on manual removal is key. Ive been nailing mushrooms now for 3 months and im finally noticing a difference in numbers. I only kalk like 5- 2 times a week during each water change

....there are probably a few species of angels and butterflies which will eat softies, but your zoas and a few other corals will be on the menu too..so not only are they not "reef safe", but also they will outgrow your tank. If your just trying to remove the xenia and anthelia, as mentioned, manual removal is best and I use an old toothbrush to scrub away whats left of the base so it doesn't grow back...

Yeah just figured I'd give it a shot I love those corals but they r soo invasive!

Remove the rock if you can and sell them.

I have a lemonpeel angel that ate the kenya's growing in my tank. I tried manually removing them and gave them all to a friend and somehow they came back and were growing out of control again. I decided to get a lemonpeel knowing that it might eat the zoas and pallys growing in my tank as well but fortunately he did not and strictly picked and ate the kenya's. I have him in a 36 gallon. He is my favorite fish hands down!

It's got sps growing on it!
Spent 20 min with a tooth brush proably hit it again when I get home !
Gonna try antispa x for the ones in tight spots!

cut them off give them away like you said but then attack the site of the root, keep hacking freddy Kruger style and you will not see them return
