This is most likely green hair algae, it can be tricky to get rid of. What worked for me was dipping any coral with algae in a 3% hydrogen peroxide dip, then doing frequent manual removal and reducing feeding. Add an urchin and a few hermit crabs as well

Yeah that probably will work.
 
Here is the instructions for dipping zoas in peroxide, as well as a link to where I got them.
Fill a container with 1 liter (0.26 gallon) of tank water.
Add 210-350 milliliters of 3% Hydrogen peroxide.
Dip the zoas in the solution for 5 minutes.
To my understanding: Hydrogen peroxide reacts with water resulting in oxygen radicals that will damage the algae's cells.
