Look into a blenny. But keep an eye out on bio load

will any blenny work?

 

[Specific Ocean]

Not all. But check out the lawnmower blenny. Definitely a workhorse

+1 for lawnmower blenny
You could also get some more snails ceriths and astrea are good, trochus are by far the best as they breed like crazy once they establish.

Test for phosphates, use GFO / Rowaphos / Lanthanum Chloride to lower them to 0.07ppm!, Check for Nitrates, keep them under 10ppm.

Get a turbo snail. A single large turbo snail IME clears up much more GHA than a lawnmower blenny.
