Get to the underlying reason your getting it in the first place.
You need to find you nutrient import / export sweet spot, as now you're adding more than you are extracting or it will not go away with critters.
I find in my tank I only need a couple of Mexican Turbo snails to keep anything algae that pops up, as I skim heavy and feed appropriately. (Not lightly, appropriately).

I have the hardest time finding something to eat GHA. Lawnmower blennys are supposed to devour it but im worried they will agitate my coral too much. My Tangs do not touch it nor any of my other fish or hermits. I have cut back on my lighting and it has helped slow my growth down a lot

Might try an algae turf scrubber. I swear by them since I started using one little over a year ago to control phosphates and nitrates between water changes.
As far as critters, the humble sea hare will make very short work of hair and turf algae. They are voracious algae eaters. In my opinion it's a must in anybody's algae survival collection. If you run out of algae they'll still eat any algae film off the glass and you can feed them nori and some macro as well. They are also very slow and gentle around coral.
As for fish I'm in agreement with the rabbitfish comment above. Your 60g cube is about minimal size to keep a onespot foxface. Rabbitfish are also known to eat bubble algae which is an added benefit to me since I will not keep any crab even an emerald in my display tank except for blue legged hermits.
