Algae id

[GSnake]

Hiya guys,

I was thinking I have byropsis, gha, and green turf algae if you can help me confirm.

Im Posting because I read byropsis can be mistaken for another form of gha. So some clarification will help

Yea id start pulling it out with your fingers

If it is indeed byropsis, raising my mg is suppose to help get rid of it but apparently only certain blends of mg will do the trick. I hope mine will work. I have randy's diy mg blend.
I am also doing manual removal . Just finished pulling a handful out before the post.

Yes kent tech M is whats recommended for bryopsis.
Manual removal is the best first guard against these algaes.
Hard to pull GHA off rocks cause its slick.
Large mexican turbos can help get what you miss but theyll likely starve later on after its all gone.
