Hi there
I am relatively new to the hobby and I am having trouble identifying the algae. I just beat the dinos with UV and now I have these green algae everywhere on the rock and on snails. There seems to be a two kinds but please refer to the pics.

What are they? I am hoping it isnt Bryopsis. Thanks!

Can you pull either kind easily off the rock?
Hey Erin thanks for the reply :)

I tried pulling them off just now and it seems the long brownish one from snail is easy to pull off.

The other ones are harder.

I added a pic of 3 side by side in order of difficulty in pulling out. Maybe the 2nd and 3rd are the same but 2nd one was easier to pull from power head. The last one was hard to pull off from rock. I probably torn it more than pull with roots.
