Algae ID please

[authentic]

I am trying to rid my tank of this ,its pretty attached to my rock
I'm reducing phosphates,slowly adding vibrant and various CUC
I'm in no hurry ,,just need ID so I can approach it correctly,,maybe flucanazol?
Tank looks great but for this,,heavy sps,,extremely stable alk etc

Best way to rid?

If you can remove rock might try using a toothbrush and hydrogen peroxide. I would start with relatively "harmless" chemicals (h202) before trying something like Vibrant. In searching this forum some reefers claim that Fluconozole works. Of course, getting water parameters and an adequate clean up crew constitute the best long term solution.
Good luck

Looks like run of the mill GHA. Don't bottom out your nutrients or you'll run the risk of a dino outbreak. Herbivores will help with that algae. If your tank is large enough, then a rabbit fish or tang. But do research to find best candidates and compatibility. Snails are also an option. I can personally recommend trochus, ceriths, and gold ring cowries.
