I would have to say it's my Checkerboard Wrasse when I got him just over a yr ago he was only about 2" long. Now he is HUGE, around 4" & a good 1" thick. Haven't seen many little pests in the 165 gal for a while now except for the colonial hydroids.

I would have to say it was my Coral Banded Shrimp, I hate bristle worms and he just destroyed them before he got too old :)

bicolor angel. She's a beast.

Sailfin tang and tailspot blenny take care of algae
filefishes take care of the aptasia
porcelain crab takes care of floating stuff
wrasses take care of snails and teenie seastars and worms
gobie keeps sand clean
regal tang keeps everybody in check by stopping any fights:lol:

My regal anglefish.

He is such a workhorse as he constantly picks at my weedy SPS corals. The result is very little polyp extension during the day and likely slowing down the growth of my SPS. Without him my tank would probably be completely overgrown with SPS. Who wants that?!

All kidding aside (actually I wasn't really kidding), I would have to say my entire army of inverts truly help keep my reef ticking along. From my hermit crabs, my sand sifting starfish, sea urchins, crabs, to various shrimp (peppermint, fire, skunk cleaner, etc). You hardly see them do much but they are hard at work constantly performing chores. Cleaning rocks, cleaning the sand bed, cleaning corals, cleaning fish. Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning! They are my All-Star team. Always cleaning and doing something useful!

Kien has first world reefing problems!

Love the pics Kien! I'm glad I'm not the only one with a "workhorse" Angelfish. Although even time I see that beotch nipping polyps (which is like all the time) I definitely think of trading her in on some daytime PE. *grumble*

Stomatella snails. Best little algae eaters for their size. Great at polishing live rock and back glass. And too small to knock over or disturb any corals.

Orange Spot Sleeper Gobies. Keeps my sand clean.

Until his untimely demise my lawnmower Blennie nit picked at the algae in my tank did a great job on keeping my rocks under control till he decided to see what the tank looked like from the outside in
