You could get something like a blenny. Most of these eat algae. We have a lawnmower and he is always chomping away, and does not harm our corals or our zoos.

OH! Get a green Mandarin Dragonet. They are nifty looking fish. They stay mainly on the bottom of the tank. They sort of jump or dart around. They go best in tanks with live rock. They are also peaceful and not too difficult to take care of. They are about 3 inches long. Mandarin Dragonets eat live worms, live brine shrimp and microfauna. They are gorgeous fish. That would be an awesome addition to your tank. Good luck.

NO NO NO NO NO! Not a tang! They are VERY territorial! If you want to get a tang you should get all the other fish you want first. Let them settle into the tank and sort out territory. After they are all settled for at least a month or two you can get a tang. I wouldnt suggest getting any fish after that cause all the places that hadnt been claimed are now belonging to the tang. Tangs will accept what is all in the tank when you put it in but if you put anything in the tank after that the tang will attack it. Very rarely will you see one that isnt really really territorial. Be very careful if you get a tang.

first of all keep the size of your tank in mind. Tangs usually require a minimum of 90gal tank. my arrow crab ate two fire shrimps. be careful of the sea urchin it ate my chocolate chip star fish. also, the time your tank has been set up is also an issue. Gobies are great fish, but should only be added to a well established tank at least more than one year. Since you have more of a reef tank, a six line wrasse is a good fish, plus they are a natural predator of bristleworms. Check out dr foster and smith.com and saltwaterfish.com. They have info as to what is reef comapatible and what isn;t

A yellow tang, buttefly fish, coral angelfish. Some fish that does not eat your shrimp.

Depending on the size of your tank, you could always get a tang. They are really nice, and seem to be more of a non-teritorial fish.

A yellow tang, or a powder blue tang will look nice.
