I picked up a LMB for a small hair algae outbreak and he doesn't touch the stuff. Although he is a cool fish.

I have two LMBs in separate tanks at home and they do a great job on the hair algae and have great personalities. We have a foxface in the sps tank at the fish store and he is very well mannered and does a great job on the hair algae. I supplement him with nori and mysis when the algae gets low. I personally don't think a fox face should go into anything smaller than 90 gallon. Just my personal opinion. They like swimming room and get pretty big. Good luck!!

i got myself a orange / gold-spotted rabbitfish, same family as the foxface, great algae eater but quite timid and doesn't find an apetite for sps or other corals...though he did go on a food-tasting expedition, only yo find nori is still the best! he's a little big for my tank but I had to get him cause i'm sick of hair algae in my tank...he's 2 inches in a 65...
