Certainly a bad choice for algae eater.
Practically anything else in the 'algae eater' category would have been a better bet. They tend to get aggressive with age, and really don't eat algae all that well.
I vote for prompt removal and taking him back to where you got him. Get otocinclus or bristlenose pleco.
And get better / more lighting.
