which blenny?

[stee0217]

I am trying to decide on the purchase of a blenny. I had originally wanted a midas blenny, but a tailspot blenny also looks pretty enticing. I got my tank second hand with a sandbed full of nitrates. I put some cheato in to suck some of it out for a while until I realized this was a bad idea. No more nitrates, but the cheato got into the rock and is impossible to completely remove. Would a tailspot munch on this cheato so I don't have to keep pulling the new growth out every few weeks? If not, any other fish that would? I have no other algae problems besides this macro.
Tank is 30 gallon mixed reef, 5 months old. Its got a pair of ocellis clowns and a variety of inverts. Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure on this but a lawnmoer blenny might eat it.

I doubt the tailspot would eat chaeto. Mine mostly nips at softer algaes.

yes my old tail spot didn't eat a lot of big algae.

I have a lawnmower blenny and a bicolor blenny , niether eat any significant amount of chaeto.

My next blenny will be a linear blenny, but all blennys are awsome, imo no tank is complete without 1 blenny.
