Brown “fuzzy” algae?

[rja]

Hello all,
So I know this video probably wont work but I can describe this algae/bacteria nearly perfect. For starters, I am at 10-15ppm no3. This algae is:
- brown/green in color
- no air bubbles attached like dino
- sways around in the current
- can develop “strings” of brown fuz
- it’s super fuzzy, it’s like beard algae in freshwater
- it’s not wire-like
- it’s slightly slime-like, if you see it from the side it looks like a brown translucent coating on rocks
- hasn’t really progressed much either way (no recession or growth)
- some powdery deposits on glass as well that come off in a swipe with magfloat
- can barely be blown off rocks with a turkey baster, it comes off in strings of fuz

here’s the video but I don’t think it will work, it’s really wavy in current.

Is it hard to remove?

Is it hard to remove?

Slightly. It’s hard to get with tweezers but the tweezers also suck— also hard to grip with my fingers but i cant even tell if im grabbing it

edit, actually, it all just came off with a tooth brush

Hello Trying to resurrect this old post... if thats better than starting my own..

I have something similar In my tank. Did you find a fix?

Been searching for what this is myself. It comes off fairly easy with a toothbrush. Kind of falls apart with scrubbing unlike hair algae
