Amano Shrimp

Amano Shrimp may also be called: Caridina multidentata and is a species of shrimp in the family Atyidae. It is native to Japan and Taiwan.

Amano shrimp are the best algae eaters out there, as far as shrimp go. They eat hair algae, brush algae, most types of string algae, and are one of the few things that will even eat black beard algae. However, there is a trick to their success; they are only really good algae eaters when they're hungry.
