Looks like regular hair algae with diatoms, the picture is not close enough for me to bee sure it isn't bryopsis, which has branch like forks, regular hair algae does not branch out.

yep.. hair algae that seems to be dying/on its way out from lack of nutrients..

yep. I'll assume this a fairly new tank..
Just keep at it.. Siphon it out with water changes..
Pull/scrub the rocks if you want and keep nitrates/phosphates LOW..

I agree with everyone else.
