I have found that the Ameca splendens does a superior job of eating algae.

I find that the common idea that large SAE's tend to switch to flake food as
they age to be true.  I would recommend a smaller SAE while avoiding the
flying fox or "Chinese algae eater" CAE.  The fish store on Roosevelt
generally stocks "Other Garrinae fishes" from the link below and feel that
this fish does the best job on red algae and beard algae.

Happy hinting!
