Algae identification

[Juice780]

I have this dark brown algae growing on some of my rocks. It’s grow on my glass cleaner too. I know people will say it’s Cyano but it does not scrub off. It acts like coralline but I don’t think it come in this color. Any ideas?

Anyone?

Impossible under blues, need a pic under normal white light.

Looks like tuft algae.

 

[Juice780]

What exactly is that. Can’t find much info on that.

 

[Juice780]

Anyone else have any ideas.

Anyone else have any ideas.

Without a pic under white light it is impossible for anyone to give you a positive id comrade

I have the same thing going on in my new tank. This is my 6th saltwater aquarium in 12 years and I've never seen anything like it.

Some desirable calcareous algae can appear brown under certain lighting conditions.

Here are my little brown freckles. This pic was taken a week ago, it's about double the spread now. I just did a water change so the water was too cloudy to get a clear picture of the current state.
