You got a picture of it?
Does it look any of those found at http://www.aquaticscape.com/articles/algae.htm The page also provided some solutions.

For PO4, you might like to consider getting KH2PO4 from Dr Mallick. See LFS list for address. Eco-Culture is also distributing Dr Mallick's products.

Hair grass can be cleaned using a comb. Add lots of CO2, keep the water cooler, lots of PO4, does well once established.
Trim like a a grass lawn, it will grow back very thick.
