Red/brown algae

[Abi.clarkson]

I’ve recently the past couple days noticed this red/brown algae growing on my sand and rocks. Could I please have some information on how to get rid of it please

Looks like normal diatoms to me. Do you have any snails in your clean up crew?
Unless the algae is holding air under it then it could be Cyanobacteria but it doesn’t look like that from the pics

Yeh we’ve got 2 snails in our clean up crew. Could possibly be the lighting then, we’re going to try move the light further away from the tank a bit more
