gray looking hair algae

A couple of weeks ago, I notice on a couple frags zoas I got on some live rock had some gray hairy algae on the rock. I took it out and scrubbed it off. But it is back again. What is this stuff and how do I get rid of it?

can you get a pic of it. It would be easier to identify.

sorry, I can't get a pic (camera issues). It is a fine misty sort of stuff that is gray in color. I wonder if it is Blue Green Algae/Cyanobacteria. At least that is what is coming up when I google it. I still haven't found a pic online that matches what I have in my tank. Any suggested solutions?
