Hi, can i ask for your help please,

I need to know what this hair like algae is thats started to grow on part of the rock? Is there anything that eats it?

The tank has just cycled and i put turbo snails in and hermit crabs and a cleaner shrimp but there not eating it yet, will they get round to it or should i add more clean up crew?

Thanks

It looks like cyano to me. Just give it a little more time since your tank is just getting through a cycle and good regular water changes should help. If it persists do more frequent water changes and test for organics amonnia, nitrate and phosphates.
