The CUC, urchin and top snail took care of the remainder. Been HA free since (except for the nicely groomed little patch that they let grow to snack on... I swear they're farming it).
Sometimes you just gotta show some creatures who's higher in the food chain with a little tough love.

Used the same strategy in conjunction with the sea hare and it worked.
In response to OP:
That sea hare is a marvelous creature. I wish I coulda kept it around long term, but when the job was done it was time to pass him a long. Hope he continues to do the trick. Yours seems to be working faster than mine and also more systematically lol
