Are these inverts good to RID Hair Algae? - Page 2

Don't rely on:
Cerith Snails
Nassarius Snails
Red Leg/Scarlet Hermits
Blue Leg Hermits

The ceriths sometimes seem to come close but don't put a dent in it.

I can use some turbos

Cerith Snails
Nassarius Snails
Red Leg/Scarlet Hermits
Blue Leg Hermits

those creatures are there to aid in the problem... lessening the nutrients and gunk if let would just add to feeding hair algae...

the turbo and Seahare or foxface would be there to eat it.

Well I need to get some turbos as well. I have one in the tank right now, maybe two, but he hasn't done much. In fact, even the hair algae is growing on his shell.

I just recieved the order, and I got some Scarlet Reef hermits. They went straight at the HA and so did the emerald crab. Lets see what the astreas and Lettuce slug do.
