I am having a hair algae outbreak in my 55 gallon mixed reef. Going to do a water change to help but am looking for fish to help with it as well. Whats reef safe and suitable for 55? I have a small sail fin tang which doesn't touch it currently

Urchins like Black longspined and Collector urchins are great grazers for most algae.

I have a lot of loose corals so I'm definitely looking for fish haha but if all else fails I may just get a tuxedo urchin
