There are Collonista sp., you can read about them here - http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/page/index.html/_/marine-aquarium-setting-up-resources/tiny-grazer-collonista-sp-r73

Personally I love them as they are small and kept my LRs clean. However, some reefers claimed that they will propagate quickly if nutrients are high.

Yes, they will multiply when nutrients are high. If you want to keep them in check, just add a halichoeres wrasse. ;)

Not really as the adults' shell are quite hard so the wrasses will go for the juveniles and leave the adult alone.
