You may want to add a blue knuckle hermit crab if you don’t have one (their legs are blue and black striped). I have one in an 80 gallon and it has absolutely decimated my green hair algae. It doesn’t climb the gorgonians, but otherwise it takes care of all other hair algae that shows up on the rocks, etc. My other CUC didn’t seem to do anything.
