Well it all depends on what size tank you own. I would recommend that you put your tank size in your profile so everybody could see how big your tank is. But in the mean while, depending on the size of your tank, you could try a Tang or Foxface. Of course your tank must be above a 65 gallon tank for a Foxface. They get quite large. I bbought one for my 50 gallon for a short time until it eats all the algea than it has to go back. Mine is ripping apart all the algea in the tank. Great fish for algea eating. Tangs need at least a 50 gallon tank for a small one. They eat a lot of plant matter.

LionFish,
Thanks!! I have a 50 Gallon and I was trying to purchase a Sailfin (small one) from the LPS - the guy took 20 minutes and scared the fish half to death when I told him no way.
I'll look into the Foxface too.
