newbie back hopping in the hobby after 12 years so forgive the green-ness - you forget a lot lol. Have this algae on one of my frags that seems to be spreading to nearby ones. Can you help ID and advise if a concern or not. Many thanks in advance!

Looks like GHA. Up your clean up crew they should eat it and keep it at minimum. GHA only becomes a problem when they cover the frags and block it from getting light. Make sure your parameters are not out of hand and feeding your algea
 
For a zoa I would dip the frag in hydrogen peroxide water (I use 50/50 mix), it will kill the algae, the zoa will recover after a few days.
