I have some type of algae growing on my rocks but I can’t tell what it is.

looks like diatoms. Tank/rocks look very new. Totally normal and will go away - it'll be replaced by some other algae that takes over and/or eaten by CUC.

Yeah the tank is about 5 months. Thanks for the info. Any CUC you recommend?

Personally, I have and recommend the following snails: trochus, turbo, nassarius, cerith, and a conch!

Awesome thanks. I have a conch and he just goes around the tank all day and eats. But I’ll look into some more of those snails. Thanks.

Sea urchin will be a good addition too. However if ur frags are not glued well, it might carry it with them.. sometimes.
