Hardest working member of your tank?
Haven't been in the hobby long and I've basically stuck to the most basic marine creatures in my reef (clownfish, cleaner shrimp etc) but I just recently bought my first yellow tang and he's been on a mission to clean my tank of algae ever since I dropped him in. I'm pumped to finally have a fish that works for his food and 'earns his keep' and I was wondering which creature in your tank has been the most functional or beneficial for your reef and why.
1) I'm liking how the tang is solving my algae issues 2) I've also really come to appreciate these featherduster-worms that shoot out a large web over everything whenever there is detritus floating around. 3) My sixline wrasse decimated my flatworm infestation 4) My Pistol shrimp is constantly stirring my sandbed and the sand looks cleaner then I've ever managed to keep it

Hardest working? ...uhm Thats got to be the little two spot goby (my daughter calls hims Spotsy Jumpy). Pound for pound no one does more. That little sand sifter has a 6 foot, 135 gallon area all to hisself and he keeps it cleaner then I ever could.
Oh and not to forget the peppermint shrimp, wonderful aiptasia eaters, they love those weeds.

Like Denny said above, it is me also, but in terms of Livestock I would say it is the single snail that survived the crash. He has a big job to do right now
