Best CUC for dealing with hair algae in large branching sps

How all, my tank is relatively algae free except for the branches of some large trumpet / euphylia colonies. Does anyone have a recommendation for a janitor who might take care of this?
 
When hair algae gets long, it seems to go out of favor with CUC and I start manually harvesting and using GFO. Your mileage may vary. I like Trochus sp. snails too.

FYI, trumpets (Caulastrea sp.) and Euphyllia are LPS.
 
That is the easiest coral to rid of it. Buy a new bottle of hydrogen peroxide, hold the coral over a bucket and pour the h2o2 over the infected areas. Do it a couple times over a 3 min period. Rinse with tank water and put back in tank. The HA will die in about a week.
