    Many species of Blennies, Tangs, Angelfish(not reef safe), Mithrax crabs and Butterfly fish(also not reef safe) will consume algae! The foxface will also to some extent, however, be careful with some of the sizes attained by many of these fish species!
    I love the Queen and Fighting Conch as a great algae and detritus consuming herbivore for your benthic area of your tank!!!! Sea Cucumbers are another fine addition and lets not forget the Sea Urchin as they forage very nicely to rid the tank of undesireable algae though they will consume coralline algae as well, they won't be able to deplete your tank of it totally and the coralline algae will grow back!~
