I rarely recommend an invert, but when I do....

it's usually bristleworms, scarlet hermits, and ceriths.

But I have a new affection: chestnut turbos, for the larger tank. These fellows truck and they eat really yucky films. Like any snails, they can wedge themselves into stupid places and starve, but kind of shepherd these bumbling creatures about and they will do a good job for you.
 
Mine is HUGE and voracious, and it's bright orange underneath all of that Coralline Algae:

It also has my Clownfish pair in a tizzy at the moment because it seems to have fallen asleep in their spot:

I just collected a decorator crab or sponge crab off the beach (Sanibel Island on the Gulf of Mexico). It is about the size of a silver dollar and has a big white with orange dots tunicate on it's back. I put it in my display refugium and it has been eating hair algae like it hasn't seen food in a week!

But I fear he would be way too big and way to much of a bulldozer in my DT full of small corals and frags.
