I have a Scooter Blenny in my 150 gallon reef tank and he is constantly pecking at the rocks and the algae. Tuxedo Urchins do a great job for cleaning algae as well. I have one Tuxedo Urchin and another Urchin that I forgot what it is.

I have a Foxface that picks away at the Algae and also eats the Bubble Algae which seems to appear every now and again.
