Which fish benefit this hobby the most? I know many people have wrasses to munch on unwanted pests like flatworms, and tangs to help manage algae, what else is out there that you guys recommend?

+1 my Starry Blenny is also constantly pecking at the tank and equipment as he makes his rounds, in between perching on his high rock throne. LOLMy blenny is constantly looking for and pecking at algae. He's a great addition with lots of character.
I see they may nip at SPS, it’s a reefer 350 I plan to be SPS dominant so that may be a big no noLove my Golden Sailfin Blenny. Destroys any algae that dares to pop up in the tank

Funny you should mention that ^^^. When it was in the QT it absolutely terrorized the pink spot goby that was with it until I put eggcrate with mesh to separate the two. But in the DT, they get along just fine. Fish are weird cavemenI can’t recommend these fish anymore after my experience with one. Killed a niger trigger and lineatus wrasse as well as picked on any large herbivores.
aw okay! Mine hasn't nipped at any corals (fingers crossed) hahaI see they may nip at SPS, it’s a reefer 350 I plan to be SPS dominant so that may be a big no no
A Starry Blenny killed a trigger? Wowza. I've never seen them bother anyone, unless it was another blenny...I can’t recommend these fish anymore after my experience with one. Killed a niger trigger and lineatus wrasse as well as picked on any large herbivores.
How small? I've been looking for something for my dad's 20 gallon. His hair algae isn't horrible but I would like to find something to help out. Most of the good algae eaters I'm aware of aren't ok for that size tanks.For small tanks rainsford and hectori gobies are great. They are small sand sifters that also eat hair algae.
