Its easier for us to identify (if possible) while still under water. Personally I love turbo snails. Other snails are ok but usually only for film algae at best. Also you should always try to avoid removing rocks from your tank or out of the water. That will seriously disrupt your microbiome.
 
What kind of CUC do you have right now?
 
It looks more like cyanobacteria than algae.
