Can anyone identify this?

Not sure what type of algae this is. Can anyone identify and point me in the direction to get rid of it?

I call it green dust algae and it’ll go away on its own usually, with time.

The leafy stuff?

 

[samnaz]

Ulva aka sea lettuce.

I second the ulva. Mine comes and goes in spurts depending on how much I’m over feeding my fish. It’s a macro. Some tangs will devour the stuff. When a small piece breaks away from where ever it is in my tank you can see the disgust in my Orange Shoulders eyes..... SPOILED BRAT WONT TOUCH IT! Lol

Thanks. It's not too bad and most of it disappeared overnight. I will continue waiting it out and scrub any rocks if it starts to get out of control.

I tried to get ulva to grow in my DT and my clean up crew wiped it out within 2 days, cerith snails especially liked it

I have only cerith, but more on the way and maybe some dead ones in the mail. I ordered a CUC package and it was mailed USPS and everything in USPS is currently FUBAR as far as I can tell. I now will have one of the most expensive CUC ever.
