Brown fuzzy algae

I have some brown fuzzy algae that is beginning to grow also some brown fern like algae. What eats this stuff or how to get rid of it.
My Lawnmower barely eats the fuzzy and my pbt touches neither.
My corals are all colorful and growing. I don't know my phosphate levels as I haven't tested in a while due to coral health all good.

Awesome cloak thank you.
One looks like dictoya. The other idk maybe a hair algae but brown.
I'll try the astrias and sea hare first.

Before you start adding things that will poop, make sure your source water is on the level, (RO/DI) and your doing all that you can to get the detritus out. (manual labor) GL.
