looking for blenny replacement suggestions

55 gallon - specs in the sig.

currently: ocellaris clown pair. mandarin. 6 line.


my blenny died and was eaten by anemones and duncans. I need a blenny to get algae from places my snails/crabs don't reach (like the tubes from my HOB stuff).


I intend on getting another blenny to fill this algae eating role. Mind you, the algae is light and is not enough to support a fish on its own. In fact, I can only see the algae when I don't have a blenny

Wondering if there might be an option for me other than a blenny?

ideas welcome.

probably goes without saying, but tank is too small for a tang IMO.

 

salt aquarium lists all these as reef safe and will spend all day cleaning algea of rocks and glass

Black Combtooth Blenny
Short Bodied Blenny
Highfin Blenny
Linear Blenny
One Spot Blenny
Sailfin Blenny
Segmented Sailfin Blenny
Starry Blenny
Tail Spot Blenny
Two Spot Bimaculatus Blenny

thanks steve. I'm actually there now (live aquaria) looking at blenny's.

Let me clarify my earlier question I'm interested in looking into a fish other than a blenny this time to take care of random algae.

The blenny's have been awesome, just curious to try something new (not often a fish dies and I can get something different!)

 

Kole tang

Min tank size 55 gallons

Bullet Goby - listed by 1 site as the number 1 fish for algae control
rainfordi goby - also listed as great algae eater
