Try yamato shrimps. I think SAE will work too.

Rule out Otos though for hair algae.

I have seen the dwarf pencilfish Nannostomus marginatus cleaning out those fine green hair algae.

cherry barbs, 3 lined pencil also... the most effective is manually removing by hand

I guess the wild pencils eat algae. Even my coral red pencil 'pecked' on my driftwood.
