Hair algae is caused by poor water conditions, overfeeding, and poor lighting conditions.
You need to correct the problem to solve it.
To have your algae eaten, borrow a sea slug (acclimate her properly) from the LFS or a fellow reefer and she will get the job done and remember to return her before she starves to death.
You will be amazed at how quickly the algae disappears.

A kole tang will not help as they eat and need film algae to survive. Film algae grows on the glass.
