No its part of the cycle. It will feed off the excess nitrates in your water. Once the nitrates are used up the algae will die off. However if you keep adding livestock to your tank you will only continue the cycle and prolong the life of the algae by giving it more fuel to survive.

not until the cycle is complete do you need to worry about adding anything...just gotta live with "ugly" for a bit ... and imagine what it will look like in a few months!

-so by then end of the cycle it'll be probably be gone right, in another month or two?
