I know, I know, its counter-intuitive...but does anyone feed their turbos and/or trochus snails? If so, what are you feeding them?
All of the hair algae in my frag tank has gone away and I'm worried those guys aren't getting enough to eat.
 
No, but they don’t need that much to eat to keep up with their metabolism.

However, Urchins need a considerable amount. And I recently just moved my urchin to my fuge for a couple days, and he cleaned up all the algae growing on the walls. As of yesterday, I popped him back into the display.
 
Snails also feed on bacteria. And urchins will eat coralline as well. If you feel guilty. Rubber band a small piece of nori to a rock or piece of PVC. The urchin will probably steal it all. I would not do it more than once a week.
