Who is your work horse?

Diamond goby has kept the sand pristine for about a year now; hopefully it continues to do so.
 
Toss up between Magnificent Foxface or Blue Tuxedo Urchin. I would lean towards the Tuxedo Urchin because of the impressive way it cleans the algae down to the bare rock and the volume of algae it can consume.
 
Most notable effect on algae was my diademma dea urchins. Most notable effect on bubble algae was my foxface. Aptaisia was copperband butterfly.
 
Two scribbled rabbitfish. Beautiful fish and do a great job of eating nuisance algae.
Speaking of rabbitfish, yesterday was at a reefers house. He was having issues with his duncan, it went from 100+ heads to maybe 40 and he couldn't figure out why. While I was watching the tank I saw his foxface eat multiple tentacles off of his duncan. Rabbitfish can be great algae eaters, but it's when they start eating other things that it becomes a problem.
 
Was my Kole before he passed. Had him over 14 yrs. Loved that guy. Now my lawnmower (his amazingly fat belly) and my rabbitfish. Also, my clowns continually making food for everyone. :)
 
Muelleri Copperband Butterfly--Keeps a 500 gallon completely free of Aiptasia and possibly Majanos. Hasn't asked for a raise in nearly 4 years.
 
It's a toss up for me. My trochus snails and nassarius snails. One keeps the rocks clean and the other takes care of the uneaten food and waste. Go cuc!
