Algea ID Please

[Fudsey]

Not sure what this is, I think it came in on a frag of Montipora Cap because that is where the frag was. before I moved it. This was kinda growing around the edge of the frag and now it's filling this hole in the rock.

It's hard to get a decent pic of it. It looks like hair about 1/2 inch long and is hard to pull off the rock.

Any ideas?

With a lot of the common stuff. It really actually isn't. Yea I know. Heresy.
I can eyeball several types of bryo really fast. Most types of heir algaes. Diatoms in general too. What I've seen of treatment even for a Dino, even if you know the name it's still the same treatment.
Honesty there's not that many different treatments.

It's a useful tool. Yea. But.

Looks like brown grass. It's not growing any higher than what it is now, just spreading.
