Hey all!
I have a 10+ year old 24 gallon tank at home that is self-sustaining, but has tons of Coralline algae in it. I know some people like it, but I don’t. Can anyone give any tips on what clean up crew to add to attack this? I was thinking a zebra urchin and some trochus snails.

Urchins are probably your best bet.

Though I did have an Yellow Hairy Hermit (Aniculus maximus), that completely stripped all the rocks completely bare, when I started out in the hobby a couple of decades ago.
