Does anything eat (FW) hair algae?

[Scavenger]

Well in an attempt to atone for my previous posting a reply after only reading the title < hangs head in shame > I've been thinking back a few years and it seems to me that my common pleco used to munch the hair algae down pretty good. As long as it's not that black hair algae. I don't think anything eats that stuff.

Japonica (Amano) are great....they kept mine down nicely

Ameca splendens are known to chace everything and be fin nippers. Thats why I got rid of mine. The American flagfish do a good job but I found that you may need to starve the tank a little to get them started.
