Yea I was planning on a bristle nose but that seems to be the usual, I'm looking for something more unique if that makes sense.

That makes sense.
Clown plecos are another possibility. They're common but I don't think as common as bn plecos.

Most plecos will likely 'eat' driftwood if it's there. Your best bet would go after a meat eater as they would spend the least amount of time on it.

Funny with your name. My daughter's name is Christine and she is C.J. Wilson
