Good Algea cleaners?

Our Astrea snails, Blue-leg hermits and Sally Lightfoot crab seem to be doing the job for us.
My understanding is Scarlet hermits and Emerald crabs are also excellent. I'm just partial to whats been working for us. We also have 1 Cleaner, 1 Peppermint and 1 CBS; but they're more for the scavenger role.
I have noticed that when the algae was too plentiful, long,etc. my crew would barely touch it or couldn't keep up with it. It was a long process to get it manageable.
Don't forget to have a skimmer as part of your crew!

diversity is the key... there are several good suggestions above, the more you encorporate into your cleanup crew, the better off you'll be.
