Not sure if this is a good algae or not.. Snails have made several passes over this rock and it's still covered in bright green algae. Also starting to notice some pink algae beginning on some other rocks.

If it doesn't come off the rocks easily then it probably just Coralline algae. (or a prelude to it)
 
Did this ever progress or change? experiencing the same thing right now
It did! Finally! Took about 2 months. Also ended up with a lot of green hair algae and red slime algae (cyanobacteria). All parameters were perfect and even had phosphate remover in the sump. Ended up adding in algae remover, ironically food grade peroxide, and for the red slime I used Chemi-Clean (linked below) which I think is what really helped my tank

Needless to say no more algae :) Also, one of my crabs had died and I hadn't replaced him yet. Did this last week and made a world of a difference in my tank.
