Please don’t mind the coral, will take a better pic when i got home from work.
I have alot of those brown hairy algae on my rock works especially at high flow area, I’m about to add some trochus and turbo snails to combat the issue, but have no idea what those algae are.

Could be green hair algae, so check your phosphate export methods or implement one if your not doing it all ready (rhowaphos/GFO/etc)

If you test for it, it may read zero because if it is GHA it uses phosphate as a food source.

I don’t think snails will touch it at that length but you can always try
 
Green hair. Get a decent amount of turbo snails to clean it out quick
