You could get a lawnmower blenny, he will tear it up. You'll need to know your parameters though to determine the cause. I believe pest algaes also show up when the spectrum of your lighting shifts. How old are your bulbs, what lighting do you have?
continuing Alex's point....
Even if you have added or changed a bulb you are bound to have Algae problems if your tank has any phosphate / nitrate...I found that out 2 months ago...still working to get rid of it...dont have a phosphate kit but nitrates show 5ppm...I added a phosphate filter sponge....

Um.. The hair algae started to appear about 3 weeks ago. I got new lighting in November I think. I went from a 15w to a 36w retrofit for eclipse tanks. Sometimes the longest my light stays on is 10 hours but only sometimes. Usually its like 7 or 8.
I wouldn't say the lights are causing hair algea. My lights are on for about 14 hours a day, and I don't have a hair algea problem. I agree with the nitrates and phosphates
