32 Gallon Tank Algae Eater

[viorio]

Any suggestions for an algae grazing fish in a 32 reef? Thanks!

Maybe a tailspot or bicolor blenny. Snails and hermits will help a load too.

It might be overkill but a sea hare is the best thing I’ve come across. It cleared my 32g in a week and my son’s 55g in 2 weeks. When all is gone you’ll have to either supplement or return.

Sorry, I responded to the title and didn’t see you were looking for a fish. Lawnmower blennys are hard workers and perfect for a 32g.

This will be controversial, but if you get a small tomini tang it could adapt to your tank size and stay small enough to stay in your tank long term. I have a tomini tang in my 33 gallon, but it would need more swimming room compared to other fish, but your tank looks like it has enough room in it. What fish do you currently have?

I hate to be a party pooper but unfortunately no. I think a lawnmower blenny is what will work.

saltwater mollies would be my vote for algae grazers. Plus they are super cheap

Unfortunately fish do not adapt to a smaller tank size, they don't stay small. If a fish doesn't obtain it's actual potential for growth that's a husbandry issue.

Minimum recommend tank size is 70 gallons.

Get some pithos crabs
