Heyo I have some brown hair algae starting to build up on my rock work in my 15g nano. I have 2 Nass snails 3 or so small ceriths a few small hermit crabs currently. None of which seem to be eating the algae off the rock. Anything I can add to help combat this?
 
I recommend an pincusion urchin for hair algae, and turbo snails. Nass snails are scavengers and don’t touch algae, I also recommend getting a lot more Cerriths around maybe 8-15ish dwarf ones
