Brown algea everywhere

[leslie25]

I have a 29 gallon tank and I am having major problems with the brown algea. Does anyone know if there is an "algea eater" type fish out there for my tank that will be ok with Clowns and a coral beauty??

How long has the tank been up and running....Sounds like Diatom algae..

snails do a better job at that. its on your glass correct? lawnmower blennies sometimes scrape it of the glass.
