What is the best hair/sting algae eater?

Thanks,

Okay, that's my situation. New tank and a slight hair algae outbreak. I already have Nerite Snails, Cory Habrosus, Bristlenose Pleco, Otto, Panda Garra and Cherry Shrimp, but they all seem to ignore the hair algae.

Yeah, I have 2 Fluval Plant 3.0 over a 26 gallon high bow front tank. The hair algae is mostly in the back on the java moss. I have reduced the duration of the back light and removed all of the blue light. The front of the tank seems fine.
