Bev, I don't think any of the dwarf angels make a habit of eating algae. Mine certainly does not (Centropyge potteri). The fish within the Genicanthus genus are all planktivores (which is why they are considered more reef-safe than Centropyge species), and are certainly not "dwarf". Fishbase lists the maximum size of Genicanthus lamarck at 10 inches. Genicanthus watanabei is my favorite, at 6 inches (dibs on the first one AI gets).
