Best macro algae eaters!...

Hi, I recently cleaned my live rock off of over grown macro algae that was choking off my live rock inhabitants. The problem is that they keep growing back quickly, so I beg the answer...
"which is the best macro algae eater?..."thanks for all inputs"

what type of algae?

Look at my gallery, unfortunately I could never have it identified....
 
Looks like hair algae on steroids ... I doubt you will be able to solve your problem with a clean up crew. I suggest you pull out all your rocks and boil them and then re-seed them with a few more pieces of rock and basicly start over. There is also some type of nutrient issue if algae is growing like that. You could add a phos reactor for less then 40.00 and maybe only feed once a week till your problem is taken care of.
 
No...
hair algae is a micro algae, this is a macro algae...plus, like I said, it no longer looks like that cause I cleaned it all up. Now it looks like just live rocks, but you can see the regrowth coming back and that's why I'm asking the question...
