Right now Im having a issue with GHA trying to cut back on feeding . Im thinking of either a sea hare or a tuxedo urchin but before I make the purchase I need to Know a couple of things .
Will any fish bother the sea hare I have a pair of Ocellaris clownfish and a Springeri Dottyback . The female clownfish goes after my emerald crab .
I have flower anemone as well will that be an issue ?
With the urchin is there a chance it will eat/kill my baby flower anemones i have many on the rocks ?
I know after the GHA is gone i will have to either return the sea hair or feed it algae is the urchin the same ?
Thanks
 
My fish don't bother my sea hair and it eradicated my GHA issue within a month in my 75gal. It also never bothers my rock nems (or vice versus). Periodically it would crawl by my elegant and get a nasty sting but would just crawl away a bit agitated. It also periodically spends some time in the sump to get rid of algae (and some chaeto) every couple of months when the algae level in the display gets low. Awesome invert all around!!
 
Sea hare awesome as well as cowry snail, lawnmower blenny and pencil urchin
 
@Paleozoic_reefer Thanks for the info I only have a 32 bio cube so it might only take it half the time . Just was worried on how the female clown act towards the emerald crab .

@vetteguy53081 Thanks for the reply with the 32 bio cube don't want to go to 4 fish and the pencil would be too big but will have to look up the cowry snail
 
FWIW
I just got a lawnmower blenny and he was eating GHA off my rocks within an hour or so of being in the tank.
So cool to watch him chow down on the stuff, he loves it and I love him for it!
win/win

They do seem like cool fish but my concern is the compatibility with the Springeri dottyback
