That looks like green hair algae to me

Whats phosphate nitrate and tank age?

Maybe a pic under white lighting to doubly check

Pull off as much as you can by hand and reduce white light intensity a little and number of hours of white lighting and add some snails such as :
Astrea
cerith
turbo grazer
trochus

8-10 Caribbean blue leg hermits

Are you using RODI water or tap water from the faucet ?
What is your phosphate level?Is tank at or near a window?
