algae grazers

[LawAce16]

What does everyone recommend as a good all-around algae grazer for a 60. I tend to disfavor tangs--i think they are better suited for larger tanks.

Any thoughts?

rock skipper blenny eats algae....but thats all it eats. They often die of starvation so I hesitate to recommend them.

foxface's also eat algae...

foxface will definately work, but it might eat more than the algae and it is a pretty substantial fish, maybe even bigger than a lot of the smaller tangs. I don't think it would be suitable for a 60g.

I got a black blenny ... works really hard but seems to not eat the algae I want him to ... may work for you though .. he's cheap to buy too - I'd give you mine but can't catch him out of his tank.

sea hare?

I think he was talking a fishie type animal. Snails and sea hares are a great idea though if you don't already have them.
