I somehow have gotten beard/hair algae in my tank. It is my understanding that there aren't very many fish that eat it, or any fish that I would want in my tank anyway... So I was wondering if there are any snails or shrimp that may take care of this issue for me... Any input is greatly appreciated.

is it the bright green stuff, or the black stuff? the bright green was devoured by my apple snails in my 30g, but nothing touched the black beard stuff except my flying foxes. but since you said inverts, that would rule them out
