Hey everyone. I’ve recently been experiencing a small algae outbreak in my coral qt. It grows in an almost scrolling pattern and is a translucent green color. I don’t recognize it from most algae identification sites, so I was hoping someone here would know what it is and potential treatments methods. Thanks in advance for your help!

It’s a macroalgae known as Luca. It’s harmless and when larger can absorb nitrates. You can remove and place it in refugium
