Algae in coral quarantine tank

[Bthomas]

Has anyone seen algae like this or know of a way to get rid of it? Tank is empty at the moment except for a couple turbo snails (they arnt touching this algae)

I don't do alot of water changes on this tank nor do I test water parameters much unless I see issues with corals when they're in the tank. If water changes are the answer then I'll do that, just didn't know if anyone had dealt with algae like this before

If there is nothing in there, you could shut the light off and the algae should go away.

Is it the beginning of bryopsis? It looks like I can see some of the fans and branching, but it’s hard to see when we zoom into the photos you posted. You might be able to see better in person. That would probably explain why the turbos don’t touch it. If it is bryopsis, I’d use fluconazole to remove.

If it’s not bryopsis, I’d recommend adding 5-10 cerith snails. They spend more time on the glass and might be more likely to consume this algae.

Would bryopsis be brown? I looked at some photos and it's possible it could be that but mine is brown not green.
If it is bryopsis would lights out for a few days help as well?
