Brown algae problem

Help me out, guys. What's the best way to deal with the brown algae that is growing over my gravel and decor? I understand that there are some critters highly adept at eat algae, but I'm not sure if my tank can accommodate another creature. Need an expert opinion.

Tank details: 5 gallon, heated, filtered, cycled. 20% weekly water change.
Tankmates: one betta, 4 ghost shrimp and several live plants.

The lights are on about 10 hours per day. The tank has been cycles for 3 months. It gets a little bit of indirect sunlight, hardly any.
