I had just gotten
Rid of most of the hair algae but then this took over. I tried to scrape it off but it keeps coming back

Im seeing the formation of dino which is often brown and stringy that represents snot with bubbles.
First action is to verify your phosphate and nitrate levels for elevated readings which often contributes to dino..
Prepare by starting with a water change and blow this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles.
Turn lights off (at least white and run blue at 10-15%) for 5 days and at night dose 1ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights. If you dont have light dependant coral- turn all lights off.
During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria (such as bacter 7) per 10 gallons.
Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED CORAL FOODS OR ADD NOPOX as it is food for dinos.
Day 5,, you can start with blue lights - ramping up and work your white lights up slowly
