I was looking at an urchin for this same issue but you've got me intrigued too know which might do best
For hair algae, I started by removing as much as I could using a toothbrush (I don't think you can expect the critters to remove it all if there is a lot) and then added a few peppermint shrimp, hermit crabs, and an algae-eating lawnmower blenny. It worked really well.
If your tank is big enough for a bristlenose or yellow tang, that would work well too.
I tried lettuce nudibranch, but they didn't seem to do too much and left a lot of slime tracks.
Sea hares may be the exception. One speciman alone can tear down a huge amount of hair algae, but then what do you do once there is too little to keep it alive?

My system truly doesnt have alot of it just small patches of it , i also am getting some chaeto and have a lawnmower on its way to help with such . My system in difference is a full softies system so it tends to take in quite a bit of the nutrients , id just primarily like a secondary set of of hands foresay.
Fox face destroys algea. Paired up with the lawnmower blenny they decimate. But I have gotten a spike of algea. My tank is hitting its 6 month mark and this is around the time everyone starts to have issues in the maturing process. I do manual removal and have a bunch of CUC but I have seen that sea hare’s obliterate hair algea. All they like is algea. And after it’s done eat all algea you can feed nori or just pass it on to the next person who needs it
