I use Coral Snow and it helps to contain and remove this type of algea from my tank.

I'm gonna tag along with this thread as I am having an issue with this fluffy crap as well. I have a few rocks with no corals attached to them so I took them out plunked them in RO water and took a tooth brush to it and it hasn't come back on those rocks so far. Doesn't seem to have an affect on anything but it just looks unsightly.

I had a ton of this crap in my first tank so I picked up a UV and it helped clear it up. With the 8'er I had a small outbrake of it, started using coral snow and have not had any problems since. Also running NP pellets but don't know if they have anything to do with it.
