I would look into excess nutrient and or water quality to start.

Maybe try sucking it out with baster instead of blowing it around.It may not even be algae,its hard to tell from your photos.

Hi,
If it is already over more than one rock, my method probably won't work. It already is growing in abundance. You definitely can't endanger your corals.
You need a better helper. Hang in there, I am sure the more experienced will chime in.
I will keep an eye on the post to see what solutions they come up with.
Sorry I couldn't give you better advice.
