Green Hair Algae

[Bailey2]

For the past 2 weeks, I've had a bloom of 1) green algae growing on rocks & glass and 2) green hair algae.

Is there is snail or crab that will take care of this?

the lfs i go to says blue leg, red leg, and scarlet crabs, about 1 per gal. also a lot of turbo snails and a foxfaced rabbitfish. i've also heard a uv sterilizer will help.

Animals that eat this stuff on the reef are fishes and urchins. You could perhaps get away with some snails and water changes.
