Most useful reef fish

[snowmansnow]

So, fish are pretty, but what fish holds the "most useful" title? Does it eat algae? Consume pests? Stir sand bed? What?

What's the most useful fish you've ever had?

Mine is the simple yellow tang: for algae

IMO these speices are some of the most beautiful fish we can have in a reef tank that also have a "job" that assists us in maintaining a healthy reef.
