Hi
I have a 12 gallon cube i would like to add a fish/invert for algae control.
Current stocking :
2 ocelaris clowns
1 pajama cardinal
Some hammers
A bicolor candy cane
A few blastos
1 button scoly
2 trachys
I’ve been thinking of a lawnmower blenny but i think my tank is too small.
Any suggestions?

Tail spot blenny and a few snails such as Astrea, cerith and nerite

So a lawnmower blenny won’t work out in the nano tank right?

I had one in a 20g, with 3 other fish. It was tight. I have since him moved him to a larger tank and he is living his best life. Literally bossing all the thr tangs around
 
Not sure if you're into snails but trochus snails in my tanks have been absolute powerhouse cleaners. I'd say one or two of these guys and 10-15 cerith/dwarf cerith snails for the nooks and crannies would keep things tidy.
 
My pincushion urchin is such a powerhouse. It’s really a love hate relationship though with him picking up and moving anything hes able to. Lol
