Thoughts on what type of Algae this is? I thought green hair algae but my emerald can't seem to put a dent in it.

Hard to tell from picture but looks like a mix of hair and bryopsis. Search for pics of bryopsis and you can decide if it is. Then look for the methods of getting rid of it. Usually running high magnesium levels to kill it off.
 
I guess that's turf algae. Try getting your Magnesium lvl up to 1400-1500. My emerald crab took some time to develop a taste for it but now he is eating it nonstop.
