    Looks like hydroids on the left in the first pic, grape caulerpa is the green stuff.

    Cutting off caulerpa at the stem isn't going to help. You'll have to try to pull it out runners and all, but if any roots are left it's going to come back. Take the rock out, pull out all you can of the runners and roots, and scrub that area with a clean toothbrush, rinse in tank water, then put it back in.
