Got this weird brown algae growing my tank that I’ve never seen before. Grows pretty slow but starting to grow over my zoanthids, comes off them pretty easy though, but not off the rocks. Trying to figure out what it is and best way to get rid of it.

Definitely not a slime. Seems to grow in sheets just more compact that slime and sicks to the rock better.

NO3-10, PO4-.1, Ca-450, Alk-10, Mg-1450

Then I'm leaning towards some sort of detritus or the kind of alge the grows for a short bit when you put new rock in a tank.
Could you get it under a microscope?

Definitely not detritus or diatoms. I unfortunately don’t have access to a microscope. It’s something I haven’t seen in my 12 years of reef keeping.

Any better pictures then? It really reminds me of adding new rock because it has that powdery look to it.
