Bryopsis or GHA?

[LivinTheSwreefLife]

Hi, I set up a tank within the last few months and it's newly cycled. I just added my CUC today but I'm concerned that my algae is bryopsis and nothing will eat it. Can anyone tell me if it's GHA or bryopsis?

Definitely bryopsis. GHA has long straight strands of algae like blades of grass while bryopsis has little branches on each strand that makes it look somewhat like a fern.
