YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME RIGHT? 
Got a mollie? for WHAT? Help with what?
Snails will assist in keeping the subrate clean but it depends on what type of snail you want.
You got a Mollie? For what? trying to feed the aggressives?

You usually just cant toss a freshwater fish into a saline environement...Mollies can be acclimated..but it is not an instant process...scratch the mollie idea all together...
We live and learn..so therefore there is no stupidity...if someone tells you not to do it and you do it..then you possibly could be slightly stupid...

Well I'm not Thomas but I'm willing to help.
Where is your algae? The Nassarius will work on a sandbed if you have on. So will Cerith snails. Hermit crabs will work on live rock ect. Some people do not like them, but I have scarlets and have not had any problems with them. Turbos will work on your glass.

PS How old is your tank?

Sorry, your first statment about the mollie not only stumped and confused me, it made me wonder if you live in Alabama. LOL. Never mind.
Agree with Kip, look for the cause of the algea, post test scores, including salinity, temp, and photo period, nitrates, poshphates.. If you know the spectrum of your bulbs this could help as well. As stated if your tank is freshly cycled it could be a normal thing.
If your water is discolored then run fresh carbon.
The snail idea is good, as is the suggestion to read up on sandbeds.
Keep us posted and I will try not to let you spook me again.
