Yup looks like GHA to me. Also maybe some bryopsis. I would dose reef flux. I did it a few weeks ago and my tank is spotless now.
 
I am at the tail end of a bad GHA outbreak. What helped me was getting phosphates to lower and I syphoned the rocks daily. I took a 3/4" hose, one end in a filter sock in my sump and on the other end I added a foot long 1/2" pvc pipe to allow me to direct the tip.
As the phosphates dropped it became easier and easier to syphon it off of the rocks.
It took several weeks maybe two months to get the algae under control.

I'll have a gfo reactor on Tuesday to help lower the phosphate,my test shows .o5 phosphate it did raise from .02 then I'll do the hose trick this weekend thanks for the info
