Noticed the other day that the back wall of my tank was covered in short hairy algae. Today while doing a weekly water change took noticed that it was over my rocks more than before. Tank has been up for about 3 months. Can I get an ID?

No signs of stress from fish or corals. Hard to scrape off rocks, did not bubble with hydrogen peroxide, did not clump together after being shaken.

Looks like run of the mill green hair algae.
