Hermits, Turbo Snails, Cerith Snails, Hector's or Court Jester Goby, Sailfin Tangs will just to name a few. Now, with that said, if parameters are out of line it'll keep growing.
Flux RX or Reef Flux can temporarily eliminate it sometimes, but with mine it did nothing until the iron was depleted.
I believe Parker tried Flux RX for his GHA and it didn't do anything either.
As Kevin mentioned, sometimes dosing Hydrogen Peroxide works. I did that for a while and everything seemed good. I forget why I stopped...

Citric Acid won't necessarily work for the algae. I'd unplug it, pull it out of the tank give it a quick splash of hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and THEN a good 30-60 minute soak in citric acid (while running) to remove scale and such.
I usually do about a half strength citric acid mix and run it for an hour or 4 when I soak mine.

Rule of thumb: don't let phosphates hit 0.

Just unsightly and will go away on it's own as the tank matures if you aren't feeding it.
We've all been there.
Using rodi water?
