Algae Eating Fish

Anyone got any ideas on a fish that can keep the algae under control in my tank? I don't want a tang as i have had bad luck with my last two. Don't really want a foxface or a lawnmower blenny just because i don't like the way they look. Is there anything else out there? I have a 75 gal reef tank so i would need a fish that is reef safe. thanks for the help.

I've got a Foxface Rabbit fish, that cleaned up mine.

They said they didn't want a lawnmower blenny, I have two and I still get algae. Fox face's I guess are great with hair algae but if you have a reef tank they sometimes will eat the LPS's. I was going to get one and then started researching, well decided I didn't want to take the chance of my corals getting ate. I to am still researching for a fish that will eat algae, plus be very reef safe.

So far mine doesn't eat my corals, but they should be watched.
Great fish, nice color.
