My tank had a bad cyano outbreak, now that that's all taken care off green algae is starting to bloom. i have two huge snails (not sure what they are, most likely turbo snails).

I have some hermits and 2 emerald crabs, and the snails mentioned earlier.
So i'm looking for a good fish/snail/crust that will eat algae off my substrate and rock.


Also, what is a good food for a Debelius' Reef Lobster, i bought one from my lfs not thinking straight. and when i tried to feed it algae pellets it literally threw it back.
 
try frozen mysid or brine for the lobster, get some more hermits plus snails, a algae blenny might work.
 
Depending on the size of the tank and tankmates...

Kole Tang
Lawnmower Blenny
Turbo Snails
Hermit Crabs

and possibly a Foxface (rumored to eat Hair Algae).
