Red Hair Algae

I've had a 50 gal tank up and running for about 9 months. Out of the blue this month, I've had and investation of red hair algae. I have no idea where it is coming from. I have limited the light which has slowed but not stopped this problem. Is there anything I can do? It is an aggrerssive tank (2" picasso & 4" lunar wrasse) so I cant really have a "cleanup crew". Would a starfish (Choc chip) help with this problem? Would a starfish survive my current inhabitants? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I'm having the same issues with my semi agresive tank. About three weeks ago the red hair was in my tank over night. I do have a cleaner crew but it doesn't seem to be helping much . I'm affraid to leave the lights off , Due to having anemonies and some zoo's in the tank
