There are not many things that will eat algae off of a coral. Corals sting...

Good snails
Mexican Turbos, astreas,, nerites... I prefer them in that order as far as being rock/glass grazers. The ceriths will burrow in sand too.
Ceriths will burrow and keep a shallow sand bed clean.

Tuxedo urchins are good too.

Black Fuzzy Chitons, some stomatella snails.

Just to add, I also like trochus snails but yea, most won’t eat it off coral themselves
