Not sure what this is, but knowing my luck it's bryopsis. But the more I look at pictures it seems to resemble green turf algae, which opens up another can of worms. It looks like green turf algae can be a slue of different types of algae.

I can say it is firmly attached to my rock work and i have seen my hermit crabs eating it. Which leads me to believe it's not bryopsis, if what I've read is true that there's only one creature that eats it and that's lettuce nudibranches. Any help would be appreciated.

I am running a ATS and my phosphates are at .021 and nitrates 1ppm.

Looks like standard green turf algae. Plenty of threads on it's control. Youtube videos also if that is easier.

thanks. Yeah, I've looked at many on utube and read about it here. Wanted to be sure what i was dealing with before i started going after it.
