I just took my bi-colour blenie for a little ride to the fish store. He liked it there so much he decided to stay. I had him 2 years and he was fine until I got a Lawnmower blenie . He would not leave the poor guy alone . With the constant chasing it started to stress out some of the other fish.

trochus snails rock. they a part the same family as the turbos but they do not get too big. astraea snails are very good but mostly for diatoms, if you crop down your turf algae and drop in a bunch of trochus you'll be good

Go
 
I'll also cast my vote for trochus snails. All I have in my tank are trochus snails to eat algae, and nassarius snails to root through the substrate. I ended up moving my hermit crabs out of my tank, so my clean-up crew is just snails.

When I upgrade, I might add a bicolour blenny to my tank, too. All I have otherwise are two clownfish and a couple shrimp.

The mexican turbos are the best as far as I am concerned.
the big disadvantage is their size.
