sea hares do a great job in mowing the algae down. the only downside is they are toxic if they die, and I had one get ripped up by the intake of my powerhead. I was surprised to find that some of my turbos ate that stuff too. I had like 60 running around in a 75g tank.

tangs, lawnmower blennies, scarlet hermits are a few things that will grub on it. I would suggest trying to figure out what the cause of the outbreak is, but that can sometimes be easier said than done. Water changes always help. Good luck!
