Default Does Anything Eat Hard Algae On the Glass?

I started getting a bright green algae a few months ago that doesn't come off with the magnet. I have to scrap it off with a razor blade and I can't reach the back of the tank. It looks like crap. Are there a certain kind of snail that likes that algae? I have a tuxedo urchin but he is not cutting it.

I can't see much in the pic, but I'm no algae expert anyway
If you used something such as Photobucket, it would be twice as many pixels and maybe easier for someone to identify

There is really no texture to it. It is just green, grows on the glass and won't come off with a magnet. It grows like a green film that is hard.

Urchins would probably eat it.
