Would move it out of direct light. Not fond of direct light.

Too much lighting for too long of a period. Hydrogen peroxide will kill off algae growth on leaves...either squirt some H2O2 onto effected area with a dropper or remove plant and use a spray bottle.

Problem will come back till you find that balance of ferts & lighting issue.

Unless your intentions are to breed those MTS, they’ll get out of control fast.

Snail populations that are booming would indicate too much organics for them to feed on. This mean your overfeeding your tank.

Top much light plus too much food paired with slow growing anubias is going to end in disaster all the time.

Easiest starting point is reduce lighting and manual remove existing algae

I use my MTS population as an overfeeding indicator as well. Something floating may help to block out some light.
