What are your top 10 algae eating fish ranked?

My yellow tang loves nori and short brown and green algae but hair algae ain’t on his mind

🤣🤣🤣 isn’t that so weird? And I was told they were the best algae eaters when I started the hobby!

I got a salt water tank 2 months ago now I have brown stains on my reefs and glass , is there a lawnmower fish I can get to keep this from happening

For the glass, snails are usually best! But the fish on this list are good at glass grazing too! I just think snails are best

Not that you need more tangs but there is non HI Kole tangs but less colorful, I had a HI one around 20 years ago that put in work. Foxfaces are a solid choice but I havnt had luck with them. My Coral beauty is a lawn mower including Coral and so Far worse then my Butterflys and Koran Angel etc. But she has eased up on the SPS some. I currently have a Mimic and Pacific Sailfin in the 180 amoung Angels and Butterflys etc. My mimic barely eats prepared foods, is super fat and is too busy eating Algae, i like the adult colors also, I got mine with no blue remaining and is now becoming an adult. I would recommend a good UV with proper flow rates if the tank has ich, mine had it every 3 weeks until I replaced the bulb. Im going for a Fish Only With Coral approach vs a Reef tank so I try not to spend a fortune on corals incase they become food.

Im going to checkout the non HI Kole tangs! Wasn’t aware those existed. Are those the ones with the white tails?

Snails are definitely best for glass! But every fish on here will graze glass as well; but in my experience, fish prefer to graze rocks
