Good pair of scissors for the tank

[phishphood]

So I have tons of algae at the moment, and I know blennies, snails etc will take care of it when it's short, but right now some of it's pushing 4" in length. Anyone know where I'd find a nice small pair of scissors (~4" total length?) that can withstand use in a tank? I know there's gotta be somewhere local, but I'm having a nice brain-fart right now. Thanks.

I think if you wash it good after each use, any scissors will work.

What kind of algae that required scissor to cut?

Joann Fabrics has some nice high quality stainless stuff if you want smaller scissors, the price isn't amazing, but you have a selection to choose from which I like.

I got mine from Longs Drugs. It's their own brand of 4" SS scissors for cutting hair. It goes on sale sometimes, 2 for one. IIRC it cost $7.

I've used it for trimming cheato and preparing nori.

Thanks Sid, I'll check them out tomorrow (if they're open).

Phong- it's standard hair algae and/or bryopsis. Snails and fish will eat it if it's short enough, but won't touch the long stuff (IME). I can't just pull it off because not all of my rocks are sturdy enough to take the pulling.

Although I might just take this as a sign to redo the rockwork like I've been wanting to, and get rid of my eibli angel at the same time.
