I was just looking at my tank today and noticed some algae that looks like GHA, can anyone confirm. Tank has been up and running for about 2 weeks, cycled with uncured live rock, one firefish, one urchin, and 5 snails. I feed 15ml live phyto daily for pods and filter feeders, 1/8 tsp reef roids twice a week for corals, and reef frenzy 1-2x daily for fish. I have sump with filter sock (gets changed every 3 days), skimmer, Fuge that has Chaeto that is taking off, and carbon in a reactor. If this is GHA what is my best attack strategy, if there is a snail or CUC that would take care of it I'd prefer that over adding any chemicals into my system. Thanks!

Looks like green hair algae.
natural combatants: lawnmower blenny, angel fish, turbo snails, lettuce sea slugs, and don’t over feed.
Just found this product that works amazing, my hair algae disappeared in a week. Reef Flux HD.

Definitely don’t think it’s from over feeding lol. Just got him a couple days ago and it was starting before I got him in tiny patches. I’ll pick up some turbo snails and look into Reef Flux and maybe get some of that, thank you!
