Algae control in a tank with a puffer...? :-)

[TinyChocobo]

So I have a blue spotted puffer and he is eating my snails (not surprised) but beyond restocking the snails all the time what is suggested to help control algae?

I figure I could let him eat all of the CUC and then try to get him eating mysis and once he is keep him good and full. Then I could try a CUC again.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

If he won't eat it, buy an Royal Urchin.

But, The best thing is to get your phosphates and nitrites in control and keeping them stable.

Have you tried to feed him freeze dried krill?
