Bryopsis ID? And red macroalgae?

[AaronFReef]

I have had my tank become overrun by this fern-like brown algae:

It’s more brown than my polyplab lens makes it look. I assume bryopsis but it always looks green in pics I see online. Will reef flux beat it back? My nutrients are great at 10 ppm NO3 and 0.03 ppm PO4. Dinos are my bigger issue which has had me running UV for four months inside the display. But I can’t stand my rocks.

Forgot to say: what is this red macroalgae overrunning my system as well? Came in on a trochus snails shell. Can’t manually remove it easily and my yellow tang (now moved on to a bigger tank) didn’t seem to enjoy it.

The top one looks like Bryopsis to me.The red algae is hard for me to see.It could be red wiry turf or cotton candy algae. Here's a good group of photos and information for reference-

The fern looking is definitely bryopsis. I just got rid of it in my tank with Reef Flux and it was totally going in about 5 days and I finished a 14 day treatment tank absolutely clear of bryopsis. Didn't effect nothing what so ever great experience with it.

Looks like gelidium to me. Son of a gun....

So doing some googling it sounds like my copious snails and emerald crabs should be beating It back but I haven’t had luck with them. I’ll try to get some more large Mexican turbo snails. I’d hate to pull the rocks and scrape them with a dental pick as I’ve seen suggested. I have acros on every rock but one.
