What eats thin hairy algae?

[PupChow]

My Green Star Polyps crashed and somehow turned to white powder... before I noticed they're gone, a really think hair aglae started growing on top of everything! Well, I am in the process of transfering stuff to my new tank, and I plucked the majority of these algae off the rocks. There are a few strands left though and I am afraid they might make a come back... can you guys recommand something that has a high chance of eating these things? These algae comes off easily and is very thin and long, I am not sure if it's your typical hair algae.

Thanks!

Any suggestion?

Get some turbo snails, they just love hair alge. Other snails don't clean up as fast, or as well as turbo's.

but nothing beats the cerith snails, they dont bulldoze everything over like a turbo and do an awesome job at cleaning up the algae
