what tang for my prop tank?

[prickles]

I am putting up a prop tank, and want to add a tang or something else for algae control. I think convicts are adorable and want to add one. I don't think I can put one in my main tank, but was thinking one might work in this tank. The prop tank will be a 120g.

Thoughts?

I like Zebrasomas for algae control. IME many will eat a wide variety of pesky algae, not get huge (scopas, for example), and they have that snout to get into all the areas between the corals.

Is there a better algae idea than a tang? If so, what would anyone suggest for algae control?

Best algae control is by eliminating it at the source by using either a carbon source or a refugium such as cheato. Turbo snails have always done a nice job for me too.
