Default Managing hair algae

Im having a problem with hair algae in my planted tank. What are some ways to control/diminish hair algae? It is planted with discus, so any adding of inhabitants would have to be compatible.

Thanks

Im battling this also, if mine is hair algae. It grows in green clumps in my dwarf hair grass and I continually have to comb it out somehow.
