Hair algaes, employ a sea hare or a kole tang, they will remove everything in a few days time.

A sea hare would be best to clear up the hairs. Fast and efficient, but the problem is that once they finishes them, what will your sea hare eats? Or get a Kole Tang, that tang is super efficient to keep your tang free from algaes, but of cas not 100%, hehe, even if not enough algaes, some accept food we gave. The sea hare you can purchase from Henry, that day I saw one in his shop. The Kole Tang you can get from Jireh (Ginza).
