Which reef safe fish are the best algae eaters? I had a foxface that was great but definitely not reef safe.

Bristletooth Tangs like a Tomini. Algae Blennies are good too.

What kind of algae? Some fish eat hair algae, some macro, some films.

Anyone's yellow tang eat red turf algae? I've seen them eat green hair algae.

I have a pacifice blue (aka DORE) and keeps it down great. There is one small patch of hair on one rock that has been there for 8 or 9 months. He keeps it trimmed like a putting green. It's only the size of a 50 ct piece and has not expanded since I got him.
