the holloween hermits should eat the hair algae.
Mine got rid of most of it growing on my LR but the stuff I got off the glass is growing in my sand now like grass(not that much yet)

I have a Halloween and a Tahitian (electric) Blue. Both are advertised to eat cyano. Neither does, IME.
Gorgeous critters though.

I think theyll eat it meowzer. But first theyll eat alkl the other algae in your tank. Mine ate all the hair algae brown algae on my rocks they just finished eating the small bubble algae, and now there poking away at the sand bed.
You just need to give them time to munch out. Unlike the scarlet hermit they dont quit eating. I havent seen mine stop yet.
