Algae ID

Can anyone help me with this algae? It is slowing growing over all live rock. No bubbles. Very short and a light brownish color.

I believe you are correct. The weird thing about this stuff is it seems to recede with the lights on instead of the other way around.

I did a large wc over the weekend and vacuumed 10 pounds of detritus out of my sump. That helped as well.
