sorry I cannot id it, but here's the cure for your algae since its an anchored, benthic growth variety:

you can tell that thread was running a bit dry on inputs lol this year

would savor any test rock details if you go that route. many nowadays just but something to add to the water, like vibrant.

we've been using tried and true measures (rasping) to keep pico reefs totally algae free across all genera of invasions, so Ill never actually depart from that mode even though its work-heavy and surgical in nature

just for fun comparisons, check out the pico reefs section at nano-reef.com when you get some free time, see how many of those picos have any algae in them. we're rough on substrates, but they comply

being able to model it with a test rock before working the whole tank is the gold portion of the thread imo
