I've had a prob with it for ages can't get rid so any info will help me also , I've found only way is to scrub it off I've gad to throw loads if plastic plants ways even boiling water won't shift it
I have this problem too. The only way I can get rid of it is scraping it off the glass with a razor.
You have to find the right combo of lights/nitrate load. I had it for 2 years! Scrubbed, tore down tanks, finally after a very long time and a lot of trial and error, and a change over to mostly LEDs on my non-planted tanks....it's gone!!!
Double dose excel and it will kill it off

Black Algae is this the Black Beard Algae?
Siamese Algae Eaters is the only fish I know that eats it. They can keep it away as long as you keep those fish in your tank. Don't buy the Flying Foxes often sold as Siamese Algae Eaters they look very similar but are a different fish.

I had a problem with that stuff a while ago. It was even messing up my sealant at one point. I got a dimmer light, left it on less, removed what I could, started doing extra water changes and it never came back.
