Yesss I can see it now , is this tank new? I see a lot of hydroids and GHA / turf algae. To handle this i would perform some water changes weekly and add more clean up crew such as turbo snails / astrea and 2-4 emerald crabs

It's about 2 years old. I purchased a small chunk of rock with coralline on it to help seed more in my tank from a lfs and a week later the algea starts showing up in my tank so im thinking that's where it came from. I went back to the lfs a few weeks later and they have the same algea now. And thanks!
