i accidentally bought this one..

The one in the photo is otocinclus. It won't eat the black brush but eat the other soft green algae. I have three in my tank.

Yep definitely !
That's an otocynclus as Bostave is saying

Otocinclus are one of the best all-round algae eating fish.
SAE are good but become lazy with age .
A true SAE will have a black line all the way through its tail.
