I see bubbles. Prob cyano. But maybe diatoms. If cyano drop chemiclean bomb. If dinos not sure cuz i dont get those. Def need pic under white lights

 

[SneaksMcdoogle]

Phosphate and nitrate hold at .1 and 15

Let the uglies ride that looks like beginning dinos to me.

 

[SneaksMcdoogle]

So don’t do anything ? Just checking I was worried it was Bryopsis

 

[SneaksMcdoogle]

I keep trying to pluck off when I’m in there two or three times a week but it grows … anyway just beefed up the light in the fuge from to a Kessle hopefully it’ll keep it in the sump and out of the DT

 

[Seansea]

Ya dinos. The kessil light will help. Get that algae crankin in sump you should be good to go.

@vetteguy53081 thoughts on this? Seems like dynos but I've never had them so don't want to give bad advice.

Looks like Green hair algae with cyano to me.

Looks like wire algae or Turf algae which I belief is turf algae. Ultimately, you will have to remove rock and place in a container of tank water and scrub with a firm toothbrush or detail brushes from Harbor Freight as shown below.
Scrub using 3% peroxide and return rock to tank.
Add cleaners such as lg astrea snails, chiton snails, ninja star snails, urchin and pitho crabs to stay on top of this.
