Help with Algae ID - Bryopsis?

[Eyllis]

Hi Everyone,

I noticed this hair like algae just recently showed up in my tank over the last few days. I think it is Bryopsis and some film algae but I'm not 100% sure. I was hoping someone could help with an ID. Thank you in advance!

Nitrates: 10 ppm
Phosphates: 0.04ppm
PH: 7.8 - 8
Salinity: 34 Milwaukee / 35.8 Apex
Temp: 79 - 80

not bryopsis, but could be the start of some hair algae.

If that's an algae problem you are doing a good job! Looks like some whispy GHA forming on your glass. Bryopsis looks like ferns and really roots in. I doubt it could form on glass due to the lack of rooting area.

@shakacuz @BanjoBandito Thank you both for your help. I’ll happily take the hair algae over Bryopsis.
