Any ideas on what the stringy stuff is around my zoas? I think it's GHA but I'm not sure.

Could be the beginnings of hair algae, could also be bryopsis.

What should I do for it? My nutrients are in range, I turned my whites down already too.

What does your cleanup crew consist of? You can always manually remove it since it’s not at plague proportions, yet.

Cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp, lawnmower blenny, diamond goby, conch, snails.

At this point, my advice would be to manually remove it since it’s such a small amount and still manageable. What kind of snails do you have? Assuming it is hair algae and not bryopsis, some snails it and some don’t. Same with your lawnmower blenny.

The only way to truly confirm what it is, would be to get a sample of it and look at it under a microscope so you can check its cellular structure.
