Hair Algae Please help

[reefhawk]

Hade the same problem a couple of months ago. It was brutal. physical removal helps, keep that up. Got a lawnmower gobie ( some people told me it is a lawnmower blennie) and then a fox face. Added a bunch more crabs and snails. Kept a close watch on my water quality and the algae all disappeared. Most of the organisms that I thought were being choked out recovered quite nicely and i learned two things. One- Don't panic. Two- there a lot of really great, knowledgable, helpful people here. Good luck it is ugly stuff.
