Algae ID - invasion

[Ky_acc]

Hi everyone, I am hoping to get some help identifying what I am dealing with.

this has really popped up over the past 2 months.

the algae is a combo of a green/white film covering the tops of my rocks, as well as this thick filament tube type cluster / strands - the tubes seem to be green/clearish.

i was thinking maybe Bryopsis, but did not see the “feather” type feature of the strands.

here’s some pics from last night

Unfortunately appears to be Cladophoropsis

The link in this thread has a better picture - researching what can be done :/

What kind of algae is this? Never seen it before...

I have had this algae pop up in my tank over the last few weeks...any idea what it is? How to treat it? Nitrates: 5ppm Phosphate: undetectable (Salifert Test)
