I have some live rock that has different green plants growing out of it. Some of it is caulerpa, but some is some other stuff. What are some reef safe fish I could put in a 40G breeder which would eat up these plants. It would take me hours and hours to pull it out by hand.

Thanks in advance

My bicolor blenny makes short work of anything green in my tank and should be fine in a 40.

yeah, you could try a lawnmower blenny too

will either of those two get along with a maroon clownfish?

I love lawnmower blennies, I have always wanted one. Is it true they jump out of tanks though? My tank is open top.

Also, would it be possible to keep a lawnmower and a bi-color in the same tank?

blenny's should both be fine together and with a maroon clown
