Or you could try to manually remove them by using a stick and turn the moss around.

you can try applying excel directly at them. but your moss might be affected if they are near the firing area

Thumbs up Hairy algea problem

To share all of you, at last I solve the hairy algea using Yamato shrimp. They eat all the hairy algea in my 5 feet tank. Thank you
