Red Hair Algae?

[dmurphy0621]

Looking at identifying this algae. Thought it was cyano and did chemclean. Then a 20% water change 48 hrs later. Seemed to work but after a a week away on vacation it came back worse and now has hair. Bought some CUC guys yesterday, turbo snails, cerith snails, nassarius snails, astrea snails and blue leg hermits. Did a 10% water change last night. Can anyone help identify or at least let me know if I'm on the right track? Thanks in advance.

Are you able to blow this stuff loose with a turkey baster? May be red slime bacteria but pics fuzzy to confirm

Not really. Scrubbing it off seems to work.

Hard to see in pic but if you had to scrub off, may be geldium which is a wire type algae that can be pressed with thumb and peeled off oo scrubbed with a firm toothbrush. Ninja star snails gently go after it.
