ok what about any types of crabs? or hermit crabs?

Crabs would be part of an excellent diet for the trigger since they need something to help wear down their teeth. You might do some research and find out a foxface will work in your tank they do eat certain algae.

Lawnmower blenny would be a nice meal for your eel if it can fit in its mouth.

Do you know what is causing your algae?

its a new tank and it getting that ugly brownish algae that covers everything. im not leaving the lights on as much either now. and i dont think my eel could eat the lawnmower blenny its only 7 inches long if that.
