i have the same thing. i dont like it. it will pop up around your tank in time. im not sure but maybe a urchin would eat it. i really want to rid myself of it too.

that stuff is nasty, I had it in my last tank. Only thing I found that ate it were turbo snails. Weird too, cuz alot of other people have not had luck with turbos and that algae. but the particular turbos I had loved the stuff. otherwise look out, it spreads fast and takes over, in a bad way....

hope this helps.
