What size tank? Chevron tangs get quite large and are not exactly cheap either. Yes they will help get the algae off of the substrate (at least mine does), but I would not recommend one lightly. Don't get me wrong. I love mine and would not trade it for the world, but he is in a 125g tank with plans to upgrade to 200+ in 2yrs or less.
Much easier and cheaper would be some fighting conchs and/or nasarius snails. Both do great in stirring the sand and eating debris. They are certainly not as beautiful but they are much easier to keep and much cheaper.
Just my 2c
