Is it hair algae...or bryopsis?   Bryopsis is more feathery like

 

If it is bryopsis the blenny will not touch it....a lettuce nudibranch will....slowly though...and then it will starve to death

 

Look up a pic of bryopsis and see if it is that...I can't tell from the pic

find a fish that will eat it. some people have had luck with using a tang to consume unwanted algae.
