My Scopas tang is starting to get too big for my tank and has also begun nipping at one of my Tridacna clams. So, it's time for it to find a new home. I got it for algae control (Bryopsis and Gelidiopsis mainly) knowing full well that it would not be a long-term resident. I'm thinking about replacing it with a tail-spot blenny for algae control. I think a few folks on here have them so I'm hoping you'll help answer a couple of questions and/or point me in the direction of some good articles on these guys. Specifically I'm wondering:
Are they effective algae eaters? Some sources I've found say yes others say kind of.
What types of algae do they eat?
Will they nip corals/clams?
Thanks,
Tom
Most blennies will nip clams. So dont think you are any better off there.
