Algae ID

[Broutilde]

Hello everyone,
I have that algae growing on my sandbed and also rocks. It looks like an elongated version of bubble algae, like a hot dog sausage. It's transparent and "poppable". Can someone tell me what it is? It's starting to spread more and more and even though I'm pulling out rocks to scrub, rinse and spot treat with peroxide, it's coming back with a vengeance.
I have a 25 gallons with a refugium. Nitrates 10, phosphates 0.08. Everything looks happy, but that dang algae is also a growing on some parts of my corals, and they're not happy.
Any idea if that algae can be treated the same as normal bubble algae?

It looks like Boergesenia forbesii to me, but I have no idea how to treat it.

Manually remove/siphon out, check NO3 and PO4 are in range, lessen feeding, shorten light intervals, add CUC if you don’t have and a tang or 2 depending on tank size and lawnmower blenny. Be patient. Will take time to eradicate.

Picture a little too blue but appears to be cyano
Are you using rodi water or tap water from the faucet ?

I'm talking about the little sausage attached to the rock or poking out of the sand. Rest is leftover cyano from my dinos treatment.

I posted my phosphates and nitrates previously. It's a 25 gallons so I can't do tangs. Also I have a CUC with an urchin that it's not touching that sausage algae. I've been removing manually for a while but it's getting worse. Like I said, I take out rocks, pull, brush, peroxide, rinse and put back in the tank. I guess I'll look into Vibrant...
