I’m growing some macroalgae, but as you can see in the photo, there’s some nuisance algae growing on it. Are there any snails or crabs that could clean it up? It’s spreading on both the rocks and the macroalgae.

Herbivores are a necessity in any marine display: snails are a good option, crabs and urchins will eat your seaweed.
 
Agree flow is important. I beat my remote fuge with flow.

I’ve added a handful of blue leg crabs. Haven’t seen them eat any macros but they’re good a scaling up the macros and cleaning them off if GHA settles on them. I need to catch the huge stone crab and remove him so I can add a few snails to work on the glass. The stone crab has the snails for dinner unfortunately.

Dove snails are the answer most macro tank lovers suggest. Unfortunately out of stock everywhere.
