Help! Algae!

Hey guys! I have this brown algae growing all over my live rock. It sometimes covers zoas and coral. I can peel some of it off in small sheets. It feels like kelp or something. Anybody know what it is? And what eats it?

I thinks it's a brown scroll algae. Pick an herbivore. Snails ate mine. Tang would do it too.
