Brown Hair algae

[macksy]

Heyo I have some brown hair algae starting to build up on my rock work in my 15g nano. I have 2 Nass snails 3 or so small ceriths a few small hermit crabs currently. None of which seem to be eating the algae off the rock. Anything I can add to help combat this?

I recommend an pincusion urchin for hair algae, and turbo snails. Nass snails are scavengers and don’t touch algae, I also recommend getting a lot more Cerriths around maybe 8-15ish dwarf ones

urchins are controversial in this hobby, cuz they an just randomly die, but, if u are willing to take that "risk", then +1 to the urchin!!!

Do you have a picture of the algae? That would help.
