Which Bottom Dwellers eat Clear/White algae?
Or what some call white string algae.
 
None. Don't depend on a fish to cure any sort of algae problem.

Amen, you can count on that! Fish can only maintain it at low levels if anything, but never finish with the problem. You must find the source, investigate what caused it, attack the source and be careful next time. You could simply exterminate it but you still should find out what caused it so you won't have the same problem in the future.
 
Ditto HN and g8.

I cannot say that Bristlenose Plecos will eat anything except for plants but I have not observed anything that mine will not eat.

Seriously? Bristlenose plecos rarely eat plants except swords and only then if they aren't being properly fed. While bristlenose aren't going to solve every algae problem going, there is absolutely no good reason for not utilizing their penchant for cleaning to your benefit. While I understand the latest trend to advise against bristlenose as the cure for eveything, they are great fish that can really benefit your efforts to keep a beautiful tank. Try one, you'll like it ;).
