i have been dealing with this for 4 month and i cant get rid of it.
i put a phosphate bag in my filter and got rid of the plant and not the hair algie.i reduced my lighting and food i was feeding my fish.
i increased my flow with bigger pumps in the tank. i tryed taking the rock out and scrubing them and getting the hair algie and it worked but in a week it grew back. i am at my wites end. my test i did are as follow

calcium-480
ph-8.2
nitrate-0
nitrite-0
amonia-0

you could try adding a fuge and adding some macro alage. also turbo snails eat that stuff like mad

get more snails. Do NOT give up. Be honest with yourself about how much you are feeding. I hear that neon gobies might eat that stuff.

Use a Simple AC Fuge for a refugium....

there is a tthread on it in the Nano Tanks forum, tried to find it, but the search object on my comp..isn't working

all said plus...get the mexican turbo snails....they really do the job.
i got a turbo of different variety before adding the mexican ones...and it was useless for GHA. after introducing the mexican...in just 3 hrs...cleared my 2 rocks...and in a week time...almost gone. now...i dont worry abt GHA growing for i know there are the mexicans will eat it.. my worry now is, to start supplemeting food for them for doing a great job(running out of GHA for them to feed)
another thing...i just hope ur problem is not bryopsis.
