But will sea hare disturb the coral?

If the hairy algae is growing on the live rock. can sea hare help?

It will definitely disturb your rock structure if they are loosely placed on the LR.

IME, the only fish faster than tangs and less choosy are the rabbitfish/foxface. Most tangs will not even look at hair algae longer than 1cm, but these rabbitfish will still hantam them like there's no tomorrow.
