Algae on eggcrate, how do you deal with it?

[Coastie Reefer]

I have a lowboy frag tank with a whole sheet of eggcrate in it. Coralline is starting to take hold but I can’t keep the eggcrate clean of other algae. For those of you that have big pieces of eggcrate, how do you keep them “clean”?

What clean up crew do you have? Cerith snails are excellent and could get in between all the grates.

A few turbo and a dozen or so astrea snails. Love ceriths but can’t get the locally. Might have to place an order.

I had this exact problem and added a little bristletooth tang and it took care of the issue for me.
