Please give me some suggestions for some clean up crew for a FOWLR tank housing, in particular, a Harlequin Tuskfish and a Red Coris Wrasse. There is also a Panther Grouper but he doesn't bother the inverts as much as the other two. The Tusk ate the 2" Turbo Snails after he was added. Currently just a few Ring Cowries in the tank. Need help mostly with filamentous algae on the rocks - it's not out of control, but it does need help. There is some Green Star Polyps, a couple leathers, and orange Anthelia in the tank too.
 
Long spine urchin

I was thinking to add a couple of Tuxedo Urchins. I have yet to meet a reef-safe Long Spine Urchin - many of them love eating Anthelia, that's why I mentioned the Anthelia in the tank. I suppose I could try one and see if it goes for the Anthelia or not. What is your experience with Long Spines?


Thank you for the reply, but I'm looking for someone with experience with these types of fish. Snails and pods are no match.
