You can run Phosban to lower the phos a bit, and freshwatermollies can be acclimated to saltwater, and in a tank they love to eat all kinds of algae, if you dont want to higher your bioload by adding a new fish, acclimate a pair of mollies and let them go to town. Sea hares also eat a tone of hair algae.
But first lower phos and see where you are then

Yes, you have to acclimate them by drip method over night, you put them in a bucket with the FW they where in, start a suction in a 1/4" tube going from your main tank, to the bucket, add a little valve at the end you can buy at the LFS and have the water drip in very slowly, IE 1 drip every 2 seconds.
