Bryopsis Hair Algae.

Guys I have a real problem with this type of hair algae because it is growing on the live rocks and sand inside my 180g reef tank. Also the strange thing is that this algae grows only in the main tang and not in the sump.

The tank is 7 months old, never had an algae bloom, only some cyano but it has gone in few days. The lighhtning have new bulbs, 7 months old and water quality is good.

PH - 8.4
Amm/NO2 - 0
NO3 - 0.5
Calcium - 390ppm
SG - 1.024
Temp - 27C

I am doing 15 or 20 % water change every week or two and also added a yellow tang but he never ate a piece of the hair algae. He only nip it sometimes ..

Every week I manually remove most of the hair alga by my hand but now I am disperate because it grows back after few days.

What can I do more guys? Please help me...
What inverts should I add maybe they can help me against this damn hair algae ..?

Thanks
