I currently have a 20 gal with roughly 22 lb of lr and 20 lb of ls. I have a mocha clown in there with a coral banded shrimp. I would like a fish that will eat algae if possible. Any suggestions?
 
Can't think of too many fish right now for a 20 gallon but I know a blenny might work. They eat algae but not exactly sure how effective they really are. However, turbo snails are algae eating machines.

I was worried about that in my old tank but they never did. I didn't have as much coral as I do now though. Only have none now because I never have much algae but I've heard plenty of people say they've never had any issues with them. My old tank had tons of algae and those guys were an absolute beast at removing it.

Update: i got a sailfin blenny. Hope he will help control my algae and my cbs wont mess with him.
