Its probably Black Hair Algae. (You were right on 
: )
You can buy an algae eating fish/snail/shrimp that might eat it, or remove it by hand.

I had some of these algaes on my anubias nana on the begining of forming of my 400L aquarium . I think that unbalanced aquarium caused this algaes to show up and grow on plants. Than I read this forum and find out that the best way to fight against them is to change like 20% of water and get SEA(seamese algae eater) . I took 2 and after that 1 more SAE and few weeks after that I dont have any signle black hair algae in my aquarium!
I hope this helps

how bad is the outbreak? if its everywhere you might want to consider doing a blackout of your tank. Read some threads on here about blackouts.
what kind of lighting is over your tank, how much. and what are you using for nutrients?
