Algae Problem

Turbo snails
Emerald crabs
sea hares
yellow tangs
rabbitfish
maybe lawnmower blennies?

to name a few

Hey JR,

So that brings up a good point. I always wanted a bleenie, but was told at the store (PETCO a while ago) that blennies don't eat algae? Will they help get rid of the remaining GHA?

 

[jrgilles]

The algae blenny I had seemed to mostly go after film algae on the glass and not GHA, but I think they could eat GHA if they decided to.

The blennie you want to look at for algae eating is the algae blenny, or lawnmower blenny (same thing.) Most other blennies probably don't eat algae.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification!
