i have a 75 fowlr, cc and crushed arogonite bed and i was wondering if there are any fish that could help clean the bottom, they would need to be ok with a dwarf lion and snowflake eel

maybe a goat fish???
or a small tang(yellow, or koles species), but not a larger species of tang, to help with the algae
or for good color, maybe a maroon clown(won't clean much though)

may eat some of hte algae from the cc, but that is it, if you are looking for a fish to sift and clean it, maybe a goatfish

goatfish get 10 inches, and are slightly aggressive themselves, maybe at asmaller size, could be lion food, but not for long, and we can often find them about 5 or 6 inches
and they gdo come in a couple different color variations

i am looking for something that would only get 3 or 4 that would clean the cc and not be harmed by the dwarf or the snowflake, would hermits or blue legs be a better bet
 
i have a lion fish and a puffer fish and a yellow tang and a coral beauty all in the same tank for about 5 months now and they all doing well he ate all me clowns tho so def not those

maroons get bigger, 6 inches, and are more aggressive than most of the other clowns, the thing with a snowflake and a lion is that they will eat anything they can get into their mouths, and a 4-5-6 inch fish won't (maybe 4, depending on the size of the lion, but not a dwarf)
