Are you sure it is algae? Pictures are not great (I know good pictures can be hard to get), but from what I see, this looks like an infestation of red planaria flatworms (Convolutriloba retrogemma).

i see what appears as flatworms. Are these things moving?
Hard to confirm as pics are fuzzy. Assure tank glass and camera lens are clan for pics

Some more pictures. Looks like online photos of red planaria flatworms. I can’t tell if they are moving.
If these are red planaria flatworms what is the solution?

Oh boy. That is not going to be fun. Never had them bad before but flatworm exit and carbon/waterchanges.

I have no first-hand experience, but I have heard of success with Flatworm Exit and also with blue velvet nudibranchs.
