Turbo snails will decimate algae.

Did you have to trim the HA down extremely short or would they eat it even if it was more than 1/4" long?

I tried to pull off as much as I could first. I don't think they can handle the really long stuff. I could be wrong though. I just have some in one little spot now, that they never seem to touch.. lol
