I noticed there are some brown patch on my rock and also covered a trochus snail. I think it is some kind of algae? Anybody could ID it for me?

Appears to be Dino
The battle is fairly easy but requires certain steps.
Prepare by starting with a water change and blow this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles.
Turn lights off (at least white and run blue at 10-15%) for 5 days and at night dose 1ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights. If you dont have light dependent coral- turn all lights off.
During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria (such as bacter 7) per 10 gallons.
Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED CORAL FOODS OR ADD NOPOX as it is food for dinos.
Day 5,, you can start with blue lights - ramping up and work your white lights up slowly

All that, except skip the water change. Siphon off whatever you can through a filter sock/poly filter and then put that water back into the aquarium.

Hi, after some research, I think it is lobophora. It comes with the snail I bought from LFS.
