I Love my Sailfin (Sully) and Hippo (Jory) I take corals from my other 5 saltwater tanks and they "clean" them up for me :) then I can usually return them nice and clean in about 15 min. Better then adding more chemicals plus they get a treat :) I discovered this by accident when I took all corals out of my nano tank and put them in the 75 gallon so I could clean the nano.

They are herbivores and will help with green algaes

Very good idea. Did the same on my own. But just do it yourself. Mine took 7 months. Just buy brass wire brushes, and use hot tap water
