algea issue

I currently have a false clown, and LTA and about 15 pounds of live rock in a 28 gallon tank. I now have a coralife superskimmer that is working great. However when i had my old skimmer it did a poor job and really didnt remove anything. I have some what appears to be long hair algea on my life rock. My question is what is the best thing i can add to my tank that will devour that algea and not be harmed by the anemone? being a smaller tank, there isnt a ton of room when it comes to keeping distance from the anemone and im worried about putting something else in there and having it be killed by the sting of the anemone. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My current setup has the following:

28 gallon bowfront tank

seaclear 50 HOB power filter w/carbon, amonea remover, sponge.

seaclear 50 powerhead

airpump with large volcano airstone

heater temp at 77.8

coralife lunar aqualight PC 65-watt 10,000k bulb & 65 watt true actinic 03 blue & 2 3/4watt lunar LED's

coralife superskimmer 65 - working fantastic

1 false percula clown about 2"

1 LTA brown & Green

1 Cleaner Shrimp

15 pounds of live figi rock

CC agregate about 2-3" deep

thanks very much,

Paul
 
I used a yellow tang, and he had the tank clear in 2 days
get a tiny one, so he won't be to big for your tank, when he's done sell him to one of these guys with a larger tank
 
i can hear the sirens already. i guess my only concern is about the anemone. I had a blue spotted puffer in with the anemone and it litterly swam right over got stung and died that night. did i just have a really dumb puffer, or is that still a risk?
