Green hair algae, or bryopsis, are caused by an excess of phosphate in the aquarium, usually in new aquariums due to decomposition from uncured live rock. These algae can be controlled with many herbivorous fish and invertebrates such as: Tangs, Rabbitfish, angelfish, tuxedo urchins, and nudibranchs.
