I loved my LM blenny too. But I never had HA in that tank. He was my first fish, maybe that is the reason...

I have tried them all...sea hairs, tangs, blennies, emerald crabs, hermits, rabbit fish, snails, you name it.
You're time is better spent defeating the root cause fo the hair algae. For me it was just me getting mad when the "algae" eaters didn't control the algae.
