What are your suggested actions? if its possible are there any actions that dont involve buying an invert? Thank you!!
 
Manually pull the algae off. Scrub gently with a toothbrush. Dip in 75/25 mix of saltwater and hydrogen peroxide for 2 mins. Algae will be gone

Okay. I tried manually pulling it off and it worked but it came right back. Will the hydrogen peroxide prevent it?

Yes it will kill it completely. Dip it again in hydrogen peroxide in a week to make sure.
