I never have had a turtle, but Ill think on some ideas..........

Scrub it, if possible,
use a algae remover chemical (dunno if these can go with turtles)
pleco(If the turtle wont eat it)
Or just get the tank out of the light more.

Like I said, I never have had a turtle before, so see if anyone agrees with any of my ideas.

i think using an algae chemical would work best if you can find one capable of not harming the turtle.

is the algae growth limited to just his/her shell? if so, i used to use a soft bristled brush and water on my mudslider. this was a long time ago by the way. lol

You may also try spot treatment with hydrogen peroxide. It does wonders on a number of algae.
