Not sure. I'd scrape it up and vacuum it out.
Sure looks like, if the the algae doesn't come off with a quick swipe of your thumb and is hard to remove then it could be.
Usually that will start to grow on rocks and powerheads/bulkheads before glass.

i noticed the one rock that has a good bit on it. looks like one of my mexican turbo just cleared out an entire area of it. So i may go grab 2 more of those guys today to help out
Those are the only cuc that will control it, i had a blue tuxedo urchin who would clear it out in patches but the turbos are much better.
Now, bear in mind that the turbos will keep it under control...however it'll still come back. I've seen under the microscope that this stuff has little creeper vines that get into rocks and is hard to remove unless you kill it with bleach.
