How do you keep your rocks algae free?

What fishes for a smaller FOWL say 45gallon? Which fish would be most suitable at eatting algae? I have a bicolor but I have some patches of algae that doesnt seem to come off unless I rub it off. So what fish would you recommend that would eat up some algae? My snails arent cutting it so any fish recommendations?

Try to grow a lot of coralline, that way the nuissance algaes have a harder time getting established.

I thought about that but would I have any problems? I have a bicolor blenny atm and if I add a lawnmower would these two start a war? I know its okay to mix some blnnys but are these two ok?

You probally would have a problem happy. When I read your first post I though you had a bicolor angel. Sorry for the mix up.
