Help with Brown Algae

[pclown]

I have been waiting for my tank to cycle but now my live rock is covered with brown algae. It looks horrible! Can anyone please help with how to get rid of it.
Thank you

margarrita snails work the best in a nano. get a couple small hermit crabs too. make sure they are smaller than the snails so they dont jack their shell!

I was told that snail and or hermit crabs dont eat brown algae, so you are saying that they do.

My tank had brown, green and other color algae when it was cycling and I got 2 turbo snails and it was gone soon after.
