Could anyone ID this algae for me please?

[Chris Jakubowski]

it's not bryopsis, already treated the tank with fluconazole and it did nothing to it

Looks like pain old hair algae.

Check your nutrient levels. Phosphates should be between .02 and .04 and nitrates 3 to 8 ppm

Look like bryopsis

It does look like byopsis. And op.stated he treated with fluc...and it does look half dead...maybe treatment is working.

Looks more like bryopsis than plain old hairy algae to me. Hairy algae doesn't have the side shoots I see here... at least not that I've ever seen before.

What fluconazole did you use? Some of the readily available "aquarium" stuff doesn't work too well. Make sure it's meant for treating fish.

 

[Chris Jakubowski]

The fluconazole is from a same batch that I used to treat another tank and it started killing it within days, this doesn’t quite look the same

Looked like that before treatment

 

[Michael Naegeli]

There is Atleast a few strains of bryposis I would think. Mine looked similar. Fluconazole will toast it quickly for sure

Is that rock removable? Maybe a good scrubbing with peroxide will kill it...
