I bought a sailfin tang. I had hair algea and all kinds of badness growing in there. before the day was over he completely cleanned up all the unwante algea. awesome fish.

if possible, take out all of your rocks and coral that have the slime algae on them and scrub them of in SALT WATER. NOT FRESH WATER. also, do a 40-50 percent water change to get your nutrients down.
another thing that might be a problem is an insufficient amount of flow. slime algae thrives in areas of little to no flow.
hope that helps
