Grab a lawnmower blenny, these fellows eat that stuff all day long.
Mexican turbo snails are known to eat it too, as well as a sea hare.

A seahare is too big for your small tank, he would eat all your hair algae and die only to poison your tank.

That sounds too small for a seahare too. Unless you just keep it for a day and then pass it on... they're big hair algae eating sea slugs. EDIT it looks like someone beat me to it.
Someone posts a new thread wanting to know how to get rid of problematic hair algae several times each month. If you do a quick search for 'hair algae' or 'bryopsis' you'll find plenty of information.

It dosen't look like you have too much, just pull it out manually and keep up with your water changes and it will go away in time.

The fastest and most efficient way to get rid of the dreaded GHA (or any pest algae, for that matter) is to go to Home Depot and buy some wire brushes.
When you get home, fill up a bucket with some RO water and start scrubbing those rocks. Get every chunk of algae off and rinse the rocks in the bucket when you're done. Rinse and repeat!
