So...I have a green hair algae takeover. Is it harmful to my fish(clown, chromis) or inverts(hermits) to leave the light off for a few days?

if you have only fish, i dont see much of the problem. try to feed them during the day that should be good.

It won't hurt anything that isn't photosynthetic. Your fish and hermits will be fine, although you should find the root of the problem and fix that, rather than a temporary fix like the lights out.

it wont hurt anything even if it is photosynthetic

many people shut there lights off for 3 day's simulating cloudy days
