Can anyone ID this Algae ??

:cry: Help i had this show up over night and it has small bubbles in it but not a lot i think that what is on the sand floor is cyano i think?
but the stuff on the high part of the rocks is what has the bubbles in, it's not real bad.
I am treating it as cyano i think that is how you spell it. I added some UltraLife Red slime remover helped a little but is still growing.
I know i may need to leave the lights off for 24 to 48 hours but i am worried about my sps corals going that long without light any suggestions would
be great.

I just switched salts i think that is what may have caused this, not real sure.
I do regular water changes and us rowaphos .
any suggestions would be great thanks to everyone !!:tongue::bathbaby: Its red looks like a spider web

Have you stired up the sand bed? It is deffinetlly a Diatom issue You will need to syphon this out as much as possible make sure you keep on top of it ,rinse corals off if possible also do water changes as need ,if you dont keep this of your corals it will smuther them out = dead corals Hang in there it will go away

I see Red Slime Algae and dinoflagellates. Syphon out as much as you can every day and replace lost water with water changes. Also run carbon.
