What is the best fish to get rid of algae on live rock?

[Matthew91]

I have a 54g corner reef tank with lots of live rock that has algae on it. My question to your reefers are what is the best suited fish for my aquarium? I have peaceful fish and only want peaceful fish. Thanks!

Depends on the type of algae, a Lawnmower blenny, convict tang ?

A set of media reactors with GAC and GFO. Also rodi with 0tds.

A fish will just add to your problems at this point.

I had a caulerpa problem in my tank. Purchased a Halloween urchin which solved that problem and currently keeps my tank algae-free. I also had a regal tang, yellow tang, and kole tang at the time. All three of them did not do the job that the urchin does. The only drawback is the urchin picks things up and carries them (frag plugs).

Lawnmower blenny did the trick for me when I had my outbreak awhile back. He scrapes the rocks clean very wellhe now eats what I feed my other fish and he sits on his rock and watches me watching tv, kind funny.

How effective is that urchin? I am not sure if I would have adequate amount of room for the urchin. I have very large pieces of live rock..
