Thats not the typical hair algae.... Thats maidens hair algae. Its more of an ornamental algae. I would still toss it, but you might be able to sell it because some people like to have it.

and my rabit fish keeps hiding in it and not of any of the caves

im still deciding on the last fish to add to the tank since it only has 3. 2 of which are going to grow more i think the puffer is an adult

If you plan on upgrading at some point, I'd go with a small tang.
