Hey

Does anyone know what algae this is in the pics and any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Can grow really long if not cut back, is on rocks and glass.

Thanks

Thanks

Bryopsis? I'm not sure, to be honest . . . it doesn't look like classic hair algae or cyanobacteria . . . I almost see a runner, which makes me think of Caulerpa, but I've never seen Caulerpa look like that. If it is Bryopsis, I'd do a lot of reading as my understanding is that it's quite resilient (increasing magnesium or using fluconazole are the 2 treatments that come to mind, but I would do a lot more reading before trying either one).
