I know he killed them because they had slashes in their bodies and every time they tried to come out of hiding, the Tang would back up at them and slap them with its tail. He tried the same with my YWG, but he mostly stays in his cave/hole. I realize I had an oddly aggressive Kole Tang - ended up trading him for a Coral Beauty. Maybe your luck will be better.
I do agree that you aren't going to solve your hair algae problem with a Tang though. As others have said, water changes and cutting back on feeding are good ways to help.

Dang, that's exactly what I don't want to happen. I have lost several fish already due to agressiveness from their own breed and others as well.
