I have a 50 gal salt water reef tank have moved all fish to a new bigger tank but left all corals.. I am looking to add a fish that is productive at cleaning rocks and in-particularly green hair algae.. Thank you

Can't think of any fish suitable for 50G that will do a good and consistent job with algae. I would recommend lettuce nudibranchs or sea hares for algae if you don't have any fish to worry about.

you could get a bristletooth tang kole,tomini etc and just move him to your bigger setup after he's done eating all your algae but you should really figure out where its coming from or it will just keep coming back

Sea hare will knock it out in no time.
