Hey guys,
When I bought my first live rock a while back I had a tiny longspine urchin as a hitch-hiker I mean he was the size of a ballpoint,since then he has grown rapidly to the size of around an inch and a quarter, I noticed a spot of film and hair algae on the back glass before I turned the lights out.The next morning at lights on he had cut a large circle out of the algae,and the glass was crystal clear! He had obviously out competed any snail I've ever had, So for those of you with algae an urchin might be something to look into.
