What’s best method of removing it

Big water changes reduced lighting hours, and elbow grease I’m affraid, if you look up green hair algea on here you will find loads of threads with tons of different methods

Scrub it off the rocks with a brush, then get a stronger cleanup crew to control it. Also check your parameters to make sure your no3/po4 is OK.

@navidreef - What has been working great for me is toothbrush + net...then let the rest go back into filter and remove.

Turbo Snails are the best GHA eaters I've ever had. Algae Turf scrubber used along with them works great.
