So I have green algae growing on just the silicone and I tred to scrub it off but can't seem to get it off is it just stubborn and will fade with time or will a snail of some sort love to have a feast on it?

I wouldn't worry about it as this is normal. If you repeatedly scrub, you might damage your seal and that would be a real PITA. I'd just let it be and let your clean up crew do its thing. Clean the glass close to the silicone, just don't disturb the silicone itself.
