Thank you guys for the help, it has been spreading and manual removal only does so much.

It looks kind of like Cotton Candy algae. Can you get a clearer picture of it?

That's absolutely it!! So mexican turbo snails will do the job? How many do you guys think I should get for my 100 gallon? It seems to be on pretty much every rock in there

This algae is terrible. Mexican turbos cleaned it right up. They are big and will consume a lot of it. I'd say start with 3. They will likely die off as the algae disappears.
