Anyone know what this could be? It's not going away haha. Little tufts of mossy green or dark brown algae. It's only on half of my rocks on one side of the tank. Been expanding for about 2 weeks now.

Your cleanup crew is ignoring it I take it?
Indeed they are. About to do a peroxide dip on it but it isn't as invasive. Just wondering if it may phase out or some type of identification that can lead to a critter that eats this stuff.
 
Looks to be turf algae to me. I had it once. Start pulling it out now or it will take over the tank. I never figured out how to fully remove it before I had to shut that tank down.
 
Looks like turf algae as mentioned above. I had the red version of it and only thing touched it was a blue tuxedo urchin.
address it sooner than later.
