Star or algae blenny

[Jpmumaw]

So I'm at the point in my tank finally it has cycled stats are all level where I want or 0 had my mates pair of clowns in there about a week and they are doing great added some cleanup crew last weekend. But like the title says I'm unsure if I wanna get a star or algae blenny I have seen both in action but I'm curious if anyone has had good or bad experiences with either to aid in my choice one way or the other?

I have a starry blenny and I see him cruising the rocks all the time munching on any algae and if that wasn't enough, he has an amazing feisty lil' personality and is as cute as a button!

I like starry blennys over lawn mowers, I have been fortunate in that every starry I have had over the years love his tank mates and the random algae that would come up time to time, some people say the starry is mean but I haven't had any issues plus every starry blenny I have owned ends up being the main attraction in the tank always photo bombing me and such, great personalities

I have seen both in action and honestly the starry reminds me of Cookie Monster the way he eats it's super fun to watch
