Post Help with Algae ID

hey folks,
Looking to identify this algae that seems to slowly be growing out from various rocks. I have done a bunch of google searches and I’m leaning toward some sort of greenturf algae. I have tried to remove it manually but it’s stuck in between the rock pores and is almost like a stiff velcro texture.

Tank parameters:
Salinity: 35ppt
Alk: 8.5 dkh
Calcium: 450ppm
Magnesium: 1460ppm
Phosphates: 0.03-0.08ppm (fluctuates with no reduction media)
Nitrates: 1ppm
  • What type of algae?
  • How to remove it?
  • Cleanup crew that will eat it?

Couple photos attached! Looking to get rid of this as it is growing by my corals.
