What should I get? Everything gets ate

[tylr_am]

I have a blue spot puffer and he has ate every invert that I have put in to keep my tank clean and recommendations for fish or inverts I can put in the tank to keep it cleaner?

Had a serpent star he’s still alive I barely see him he’s not doing too much

They are more active at night usually. Same with cucumbers. My stars and stripes puffer leaves cucumbers alone

Do they eat urchins?

Haven’t tried and urchin yet kind of scared to buy something at this point and cheaper ones I can use to test?

A quick search suggests they eat them too lol.. I'm sorry but I have zero experience with puffers.

Puffers eat inverts. If you want inverts you can't really have a puffer.

If your tank is constantly dirty it is either a new tank going through it's ugly phase(Which will pass in a few months), or you are over-feeding/never cleaning.

An algae blenny like a lawnmower blenny is an option if you want something to clean algae off rocks ect. If your tank is overrun then the problem is elsewhere and no new addition will help.
