How do I get rid of this and what is it?
It has been around like this for a few weeks now. Tank is 3 months old. The photo shows my green star polyps covered with it. Can I just pull it off them?

Manual removal. If that is Cotton Candy algae I would get right on that. GSP are fairly resilient,you can remove the piece and scrub with a soft tooth brush.
 
I cleaned off the GSP tonight, waiting on it to stop being ****** and come back out.
How's it start? I thought it is brown algae, not sure what will eat it either. I scraped some off the back wall of my tank tonight too, it's fine like hair and most of it is short. Gets on the glass daily too. Nitrates are zero during tonight's testing. I use RODI water from my spectra pure unit, that is new and RSCP salt, thinking about switching.
