red slime algae

I have a huge outbreak of red slime algae in my 50 gal tank with a baby (one month old) bimac. The tank is plumbed into a 90 gal reef and 30 gal sump. The reef tank does not have any red algae, which I think means that the cause for the problem in the octo tank is the lack of herbivores.

What herbivores can I put in with this small bimac? I've heard turbo snails and yellow tangs eat this algae. Will the tang bother the bimac? And will a bimac attack a snail that is bigger than it (for the moment anyway)

Any thoughts welcome.
