well the title says it all!

i may be over feeding :*) but they looks so cool when they eat... i only have a dwarf gourami and an albino cat in the tank so far, im getting two more corys tomorrow :D

is there anything i can do appart from manually removing it with my fingers?
 
Hair algae can be easily removed using an old toothbrush. Reduce the feeding, increase water changes and introduce a few algae eating fish such as mollys, shrimp, otos, SAEs.

Anubias are slow growers and are targets for algae. Introduce some fast growing plants such as Hornwort, Egeria densa as they will absorb extra nutrients.

How much light does your tank get? Are there many live plants?
