Unfortunately, this sounds like spot algae and not any other type of green algae.

This is one of those pain in the arse ones (I am dealing with it now) that can only be taken care of by nutrient balancing, light, and mechanical removal.

Fish don't eat it. I have an Oto, true SAE, pleco and mollys. NONE of them will touch it....or atleast do anything to make a noticable difference.

what are your iron, PO4, NO3 levels at? You dosing micros? Light/CO2?
