    I've added one of these guys to my tank about a month ago and it hasn't touched any of my hair algae. I have no idea what this thing is eating, but it's alive and well.

    what color is the back of your tank? do you have a colored backdrop? if you do or the color isn't clear...than the light reflected back at the tank from the wall or whatever focuses the light on the back....thereby increasing the surface exposure for any algae that sticks to the glass..try putting a dark colored cloth or any backdrop behind the tank....
