+1 on Gramma loreto - colorful and not too aggressive in most cases - just defends it's cave with threat behavior for the most part, and don't get that big. You can also consider a pair of Ocillaris or Percula clowns, or a Watchman goby and pistol shrimp pair are fun to have. 29 is a bit smallish for Centropyge sp. but not out of the question if you only have 1 or 2 other fish and its an FO or FOWLR. As to the algae, that's better solved by way of nutrient transport, i.e. skimming, growing/harvesting macro, etc. as well as not overfeeding.

Oh, and don't forget to QT the fish!
