Are they flat, or tubular?

If tubular:

Possibly a Lychaete sp.? For example:

Lychaete herpestica Filamentous Green Algae

Lychaete herpestica is commonly referred to as Filamentous Green Algae. Difficulty in the aquarium: Not suitable for aquarium keeping. Toxicity: Toxic hazard unknown.

Luxuriant Cladophora, Cladophora catenata

That is some good looking rock you got made.

What other livestock is in the tank? I noticed that you used 12% peroxide which is what I use for nuisance algae control. Tell me more about how you used it.

No - the only critters that I know eat the stuff are meiofauna (like pods), so they don't eat it fast enough to effectively control it.
