As far as algea control is concerned? I am going to get a Tail Spot Blenny, if your not familar, seems to be similar to a bi-color, or midas just wondering how they compare to say a Lawnmower Blenny for algea control? I know the usual methods of algea control, just curious if most blennys will do a good job kepping algea in check?
Are all blennys created equal?

All blennies are not created equal. Even blennies of the same name.
There is a reason they got nicknamed lawnmowers.
Most blennies will eat some micro algae, the difference being some will nip at other inverts/corals more so than others.

I would say your chances are good, of course not as definate as the lmb.
Good to hear he might like it. Lawnmowers are cool but Tail Spots are sooo cute
