Cleaning Fish

[splenda21]

What are some good fish that will clean my rocks and sand from algae, but will be compatible with a lionfish?

A foxface. Mine eats algae from both rocks and sand.

alrighty, what type of algae do you have that your wanting to get rid off? different algaes appear in our tanks for different reasons.

IMO, adding another fish does not typically resolve - but just contributes - to additional algae problems. Most significant algae problems have an underlying water quality or maintenance issue...and adding more livestock will not really resolve it.
