In a 52 corner, you don't have that much room for big fish.
I'm lps, sps, and doing pretty well, except that the lovely rock I got came with little caulerpa roots that weren't apparent until things got underway.
The stuff is noxious---gives off toxins when cut. And my little nanofish (see below) can't help me. I asked a knowledgeable lfs owner/hobbyist himself what he would do, and he recommended a rabbit.
So I'm the owner of Elmer the Scribbled Wabbitfish, a species that's smaller than the virgate or the other high-consumption rabbits. He's calm, sociable, and a little dimwitted, but he does not bother the corals. He negotiates his way around them quite deftly, and is lunching on the cursed grape caulerpa that was making its way every which way through the rockwork. I was very, very leery of introducing an elephant into the nano tank, and have a great deal of concern for a fish that might be a little closely confined, but by all appearances, this fish is not a long-distance type and, well fed, seems to exude calm.
If you have a weed problem, and absolutely have to do something about it, the Scribbled Rabbitfish eats 30 different kinds of algae, and is well-mannered with corals.
