What kind of algae is this and how can I make it disappear?

I'm going to guess Lobophora Variegata. Not sure about controls.

Here's (http://wetwebmedia.com/brnalgfaqs.htm) about the best I could findfor a link to controls. There's also a google link near the top of the article which may help.

Thanks David,
After browsing some pictures your guess looks to be correct. Now I just have to find a way to get rid of it.

I have the same stuff and would also like to know how to get rid of it. It is a slow encrusting algae that is almost impossible to remove manually. I'm almost to the point of cooking all my rock.
