Tang? for nano

[MRDHJ1]

I can hear the Tang cops coming already. The question is what kind of tang(baby or small) or other fish would eat the bubble algae and red algae I have growing in my 24 gal. I know that tangs like the stuff because I have fraged ha ha some of it and put in with my Atlantic blue and Yellow and they love it. So is there a fish that would be able to clean up the nano. If a young tang would work what kind could you get small enough to not torture it in a nano for a short time. Also are there any that could go in with the blue and yellow when it gets to the right size.

I think you'll just end up with more problems later, or a fish that needs a new home at least. Throwing another tang in with an Atl Blue and Yellow will create bedlam. I think you're better off with manual removal and possibly an Emerald crab or 2. Just be sure to remove the crabs when the algae is gone or they'll start munching on some of your corals(yes, I've been there, done that).

Emerald? Haven't had one of those in there in a while. That might be worth a try.

They do a great job, just watch them when the tank start looking clean.
