I have long brownish hairs growing on a few of my corals. I’m able to just pluck them off, but I’m wondering how I can prevent them from growing in the first place.

It’s growing on my digi, candycane, lepto. My nitrates and phosphates are all very low and

is it because my flow is not strong enough?

Sorry, difficult to take the photo. Is there anything I can do to prevent this kind of algae from growing on the coral.
 
The first one looks more like bryopsis. I'd rip it off or superglue over it
