I have been having a problem and a yellow tang and yellow fox face love grazing all day

Thanks I have to get a small fox face then

Its 50/50
My yellow tang and foxface never touches the hair algae
so does the lawnmower blenny , he only picks on the algae on the glass or dead coraline algae

Agreed there are some cases that they will not eat it especially if you feed you fish well they rather have the good food and not the algae.

Word of warning tho fox faces have poisonous spines but it not something to be worried about. After three days mine was calm enuf to eat flakes from my fingers with my hand submerged.

And also a yellow tang and fox face make good friends together ( very rarely the bond will not happen ) the second mine saw each other it was a match made in Atlantis.
They are always together and one will always fallow the other!!!!!

Foxface did it for me one of the best buys I ever made even started eating the little bubble algae I had.

The main thing we should be concerned here is why you are having these algae issues. Not to purchase an animal to keep algae at under control to a point (as said its 50/50 that the animal you purchase will go after the algae).
