At a certain point many commons no longer will be effective algae eaters. Several ancistrus species are good choices, as are otos and snail and shrimp.
Also, pleco often go after the slime coat on other fish if they are hungry. You might not be feeding him enough bulk foods like zuchini. Try increasing his diet a little and he may well leave other fish alone.
