I think im getting algae, could you take a look please?

I recently added a new led light the other day, been running it pretty steady. Now I have these brown spots growing, I'm assuming algae? Will it go away, also what are a few fish I should get that can feast on it?

Diatoms perhaps?! Have you added new sand recently?! If it is algae I would leave it, IMO it makes the rocks look more natural. However if you don't like the algae look shorten the photo period of your tank and/or do more water changes to remove the excess waste that can contribute to algae growth.

Ok, I was at my lfs and saw a 7 or so inch pleco.
Would I be able to add him, I have 7 mbunas, and 5 peacocks..

I wouldn't, simply because you shouldn't add a fish to combat a problem that's caused by an imbalance in the aquarium. Plecos add a high bioload and typically do a mediocre job at eating the algae.

Diatoms will go away. You can wash your decoration if you unwanted.
