Been noticing a lot of hair alage growth? Any tips to fix? I cut back on feeding, am I doing something wrong

That green toadstool looks really healthy, but hair algae can definitely take over fast! I found adding a few snails or a small hermit crab helped keep it in check along with tweaking flow to prevent dead spots where algae love to grow.

What is your nitrate and phosphate levels? I would recommend doing manual removal to get them down and consider clean up crew. I just recently got lawn mower blenny and does a great job doing some cleaning but only on short algae

Looks like you've got a nice mix of softies in there! Hair algae can be trickybesides feeding less, I found adding a cleanup crew and tweaking flow helps keep it in check. Also, double-checking your phosphate levels might be key since that stuff loves to thrive when nutrients are high.
