Alternathera mini grow slow and tend to get abit of algae on it. i find in direat light it depends on where you place it it get algae but in shady area don't. try to reduce the light or add nerite snail.

if you say all plants are healthy you could try to remove it and replace and see how it goes or add it else where and see if it still has algae on it. that what i normal do. take time and money but let you understand the plants better.

add some pictures that might help

cheers
