Bro, once the algae has settle in the rocks it is very difficult to eradicate. Even if you brush the rock, chances are there is still left over in the rock cavities.

One option, since a pico tank is small; just replace the rocks.

Another option, check with FuEl (Iwarna) on some additive to remove nuisance algae.

Remove the rocks soak inside a container of fresh saltwater and cover it well from any source of light. . Confirm algae will die off totally. .

check your water to see if the nutrient level are high.

Agree with BamBoo, it's not a rock or algae problem - it's a water problem.

Try to control the nutrients level, I'm keeping small size hermit crabs inside my tank and the algae problem is resolved.

I had Hair algae bloom. Added snails, NP pellets reactor, no3 zero, liquid carbon and finally overkill skimmer. The result comes best after introducing skimmer. Removed a lot of dirty stuff from water. Hair algae no nutrient to grow, reduced.. left a tiny bit in a total of 2 mths time.
