lawnmower blenny. you'll only need one. i've heard some folks have problems with them eating other foods, but mine ate just about anything offered. Did great until he went carpet surfing.......

My lawnmower blenny ate lots of algae, along with two maxima clams!!!
Not saying everyone will do that, but keep an eye on him. Never bothered any other corals though! ------------------ http://www.ssaland.com/reefpages/reefhome.htm |

I've been waiting for my LFS to get another Lawnmower in. The one they have also likes to give the other fish hickeys.

Lawnmower blenny is synonymous with hair algae consumption.
But my Sailfin tang comes pretty close! Gary |

make sure it's not byropsis, they look very similar, but no fish will touch bryopsis.

scooter blennys are part of the dragonette family (same as mandarins) and aren't actually blennys. Scooter's eat pretty much just what mandarins do.

I have had 2 lawnmower blemmies and my bi-color blemmy has harassed them both to death within 1 to 2 weeks. I do have green hair alage and it doesn't seem to want to go. I thought the LM's would work, but the bi won't give up its territory. What can I do?
