    sorry it took me so long to get back, the problem with red hair algae is it grows a little faster then a small clean up crew can eat it, its a little tougher then green in texture then its bothers the green algae so, its pure he-- to get rid of, heres how i get it out, you can take each rock out and shrub them with a stiff brush which is a lot of work and will affect the good algae or if your tank is big enough 2 tangs will eat it mine are 1 yellow and 1 redsea sailfin, or 5 blue leg crabs per gallon of water and the best ones are the small ones they work better than the big ones imo i have added a short video of my tangs eating the notorius red algae i hope it helps you:)
