tailspot blenny

[Kigs]

Anyone own one of these guys?

Thinking of getting a few to control algae, how are they as part of the clean up crew? Would 2 or 3 of them tolerate each other?

How are they compared to algae blenny in mowing down algae?

Mine hardly ever munch on algae, but they have great personality i want one again. But algae blennies do a better job of mowing down algae.

+1 My tail-spot picks at the algae where a combtooth scrapes large chunks off. But, tail-spots a great fish.
Unless they are a mated pair, I don't think I'd go with more than 1 tailspot.
Good luck whichever way you choose to go!
