did you use Dry rock? What are your phosphates at? Might me time to start using a phosphate remover if you aren't already. If your cycling a tank you could always leave the lights off to keep it at bay while you figure out if your rocks are leaching nutrients

Looks like your rock is still dead, so no problem to remove the rock for a minute and blast that spot of algae with a blowtorch. Do it now as its easier to remove that piece of rock now rather than later.

I would just use my clippers and cut that little piece of the rock out.

Find yourself some phosphate remover like gfo. if you have a sump i would probably get a reactor to fill with the phosphate removing media. You can also use it just sitting in a mesh bag.
Talk to your stores in your area, they can hook you up.I liked red coral when i lived there

It's Turf Algae, and it will grow for a month or two, but should abate over time, once your tank matures
Keep it plucked and don't let it blow all over your tank In the meantime ... When I remove mine, I hold a cup of fresh water in one hand and pluck off the algae ( the whole growth ) with the other, dipping my fingers into the cup to rinse, and carry on with the next clump It should eventually go away
