yet another algea question

[yshurtleff]

I've read all the post on algea and liked all the answers but what do you use when youve got puffers in the tank..thats a mighty expensive snack food for them..

Buy a scraper, and keep the glass algae free. Aside from that, tangs and butterflies will graze algae. They are not the cleaning machines that inverts are, though.

I've got a kent metal scrapper also in the tank is a chocolate starfish and a pencil seaurchin but they just dont seem to do the job...I could scrape which i do but I was hoping that someone out there might know of something else living that a puffer didnt like to eat that would clean.. cause its much better the have live things than mechanical things in my opinion but thanks atleast for your reply

will the puffer eat a tuxedo urchin?
