PLEASE HELP: Need Hardy Hair Algae Eaters For Reef Tank

New here and need some advice I have had saltwater before but this is my first attempt at the reef. Here's the skinny I need hair algae eaters that are extremely hardy my nitrates are at 20 which is high for a reef and it's because of the hair algae I've added DI water with no avail and I just recently moved the tank about 2 weeks ago (just purchased it) it was a complete set up with tons of live rock, live sand, flame hawk, damsels, serpent star, purple lobsters, emerald crab, spiky sea cuke, carpet anenome, branch type anenomes (don't remember what they are lol) and it came with the hair algae YEAH lol The system I have is great it's a sump/refugium power heads lots of flow everything is perfect except the algae. All my other levels are good the ph goes from 8.4 to 8.6 sometimes but that's about it. The only problem I have is finding a hardy hair algae eater that will get along with my inhabitants ALSO just to note I have tried Trochus snails and someone keeps eating them so I need a new idea. Thanx
