What fish have you guys had success with for getting rid of GHA algae.
Btw these are the fish I have/going to have in my 25gal lagoon:
1 BSJ
1 Yasha Goby
1 super small black storm clown
1 orange storm clown
1 six line wrasse
1 blue stripe pipefish

TIA

there’s no fish for a 25g lagoon that’s going to wipe out or even manage your GHA with certainty.

You should be looking into CUC for this solution. Keep in mind that you are the
Most effective member of your CUC

I prefer toothbrushes lol. Also managing your nutrients so that you don’t get infested in the first place

Mexican turbo snails. Also, I’d hold off on the pipefish for a while, they’re not exactly beginner friendly and need a pretty mature tank.

So a small starry blenny wouldn’t work?

I mean I think they’re supposedly known to partake in some GHA. But they are all individuals and your mileage may vary. You could very well get one that won’t even touch it. Especially once they figure out they have a constant food source of magic falling food coming from the sky once a day lol.

They’re not going to be like the big tank guys with their tangs, fox face and other larger utilitarian fish.

The best course of action if you’re worried about GHA is staying on top of it by good husbandry and keeping a clean tank. Also managing nutrients to keep it from becoming a problem in the first place. All reef tanks will have SOME algae. It’s just part of it.
