Algae isn't dangerous to turtles, it can actually be beneficial since it helps remove the nitrates in the water. It doesn't look too good, but you can usually remove a lot with a toothbrush. I usually just leave it alone as long as it doesn't get out of hand. I have ghost shrimp and algae eating snails and fish that the turtles usually ignore and they usually help keep it from being too visible.
