Best blenny for algae

[UMan101]

Hi everyone

I've read that lawnmower blennys are great with algae. But they look a little too "bland" for my taste. Are there any other blennys that help as much as a lawnmower?

(55 gallon, with corals)

Do they clean as well as the lawnmower? Also, your name...A fellow desi?

I've had a starry and a bicolor. Both very personable but not quite algae destroyers.

Yeah, I've seen them get lazy too. Depends on their personality I think.

Does anyone know if the Segmented Sailfin Blenny is just effective as the Sailfin/Algae Blenny? It seems a little more colorful than a normal sailfin

Best blenny to eat algae hands down is the lawnmower blenny

Hmm I think the lawnmower will be the one then. Do you know if the segmented is the same as a normal lawnmower?

Despite it's bland appearance my lawnmower blenny is my favorite fish by far. Lot's of personality and fun to watch.

I prefer the looks of a starry but Ive had both at the same time in different tanks on the same system. Hands down the lawnmower preformed better at cleaning duties.

I've only kept lawnmower and molly miller blennies and all have had great personalities and faces only a mother would love . From my experience, they both graze constantly and will greet you when you come closer to the tank. I like the molly millers because they're known to eat aiptasia as well.
