I have an alge bloom
in my 25 gal.
I need to put in a better cleanup crew,
could i place a lawnmower blennie or will he outgrow my tank?
also is a starfish a good addition? if so what types?
I currently have 5 hermits...

Stars may be more likely to eat detritus (fish waste, etc.) on the sand and rocks rather than the algae as they are sand sifters.
The snails and hermits crabs are best for after algal bloom I believe.
You cant go wrong with starfish of course, but surf the store portion of this website, because they give you lots of details as to each different species.
