Best green hair algae eater?

Okay, what is the best GHA eater you have ever had? Yes, I know I need to limit the source of the extra nutrients... But, just for kicks, who has successfuly battled the stuff with animals, too? some patches are 1-1.5" in length, so it will have to be something that will eat thick clumps. Thanks!

That's what I was thinking. Any difference between the magnificent and the standard Lo?

I thought about that, too, but the last one I had started getting a bit aggressive with size... I have a few smaller fish--orange spot goby and a mandarin--that might get harassed a bit, but I don't know.

My foxface wouldn't touch the GHA. I must have gotten the bad one.

i would recommend a sea hare. those things can squeeze through tight spaces and wont knock over your corals.
