Help identify this algae

[Joshua Huff]

Can someone give me a little input of this algae I have growing? It is difficult to scrub off, very attached to the rock.

I am awful at picture ID from photos but my concern is that it is bryopsis. Does it look like fern leaves?

Hopefully someone else in #reefsquad can help.

No it is single strands but it does not seem as long as green hair algae and it really sticks to the rocks, I'm just going buy what I have seen green hair algae look like online.

Looks like green turf algae to me, but please wait for some eyes as I'm not an algae expert.

Thank you all for helping identify this, Any experience with removing it? I have had 2 Emerald crabs with no success of long term survival. I am not sure why really my parameters have been very stable. I may try again not that I have this much for one to eat on.

What about the bubble that shows on the chalice in the second photo? It has recently appeared and i have seen this in others tanks, but not sure what it is.
