Ok, I have a odd algae question. This algae looks like a cross between bryopsis, green wire, GHA. It's growing on rocks, sand, glass. Appears to grow from a single anchor point and grows and branches out from there, some there are several branches coming straight from the anchor, some just a single. I can't seem to find a pic of anything like it and I can't get a pic with my phone as it won't focus on it
 
green hair algae is sign of high nitrate. keep nitrate less than 10 ppm. remove it manually during water change.
 
It's not GHA though as this is branching. The only thing in this tank, reefer 350 is some frags from my other tank, 1 blue knuckle crab and 1 nerite snail.

Been searching half the night and it's either briopsis or a type of cladophoropsis. It has popped up and spread rapidly. It is not stuff tube like. Kind of flowing like GHA but is branching
