Tank looks very new; algae is not abnormal. Remove what you can manually, add some herbivorous cuc, and try to keep nutrients in check.

The conditions that grow coral also grow algae. Your tank just needs to stabilize which can take a while.

Turbo snails, cerith snails, urchin, etc. You could also try a sea hare but will need to re-home it once the algae is gone since it will starve.
