Algae ID

[maksim serebro]

Can anyone id this algae? It’s very short, brown and incredibly hard to scrape off. I need a steel brush. Tangs will not touch it and it can even grow on coralline. I’m thinking some kind of turf algae. Thanks

I think it looks alot like green turf algae or maby early stages of hair algae, but not sure so would wait for more opinions.

Thanks. It’s just very brown and not green. And doesn’t grow long. Stays really short like 3-4mm.

I wish someone would identify it as I have the same thing in my 9 months old tank.
