What is the size of your tank?

Rarely do tangs ever do a good job in hair algae control

You need to first get your water conditions so that they are acceptable.
Once you have done that go online and see if you can borrow a sea hare from another reefer. If not buy one but return it to the lfs when it has done its job otherwise you will starve it.

Remember to acclimatize the sea hare very slowly as they will not survive a quick introduction.

Upon doing some research, it looks like diatoms (golden/brown algae). I had some after my tank cycled and the blenny ate most of it. I have been manually removing some of it so it's not an all-out plague. I'll upload some pics when I get home tonight.
