Default coraline algea and snails

What type of snail or other type of clean crew will eat the purple stuff of my glass vs scraping off ?

No snails, but urchins usually eay coraline. However they will take it off the rock as well.

My Tuxedo Urchins do a good job of eating coraline. They also stay relatively small and don't have really long, dangerous spines either.

Bag it up and sell it, if you powder it up and put it on base rock it spreeds and looks great. Reefgeek will buy it, and so would I.
