Unfamiliar Algae

[Wrassenaround]

I need some help identifying what this algae would be and a possible solution. I have dealt with all kinds of algae since I've been in the hobby, (Turf, diatoms, GHA, Bryopsis) but this one doesn't look familiar to me.

Tank Background:
I have had this tank setup since the first week of June, with a very low bio load (1 clown, wrasse, anthias and CBB) NOT dosing anything that would lead to an algae outbreak (Red Sea ab+ or ReefRoids). I do 20 gallon water changes every 2 weeks with some manual removal as well. I have included my lighting schedule and spectrum as well. I'm thinking about lowering my whites and increasing my UV levels but I need to do a par measurement with that change to see what the levels would be.

Here it is under blues. Here it is under white.

This is what my current spectrum looks like running 2 Hydra 32HDs.

I don't have an answer but following because I think I have literally the same stuff. Tank is similar, a bit newer but low bioload. I do know that the new astraea snails that I have love to eat it.

You can see it on the snails and a few patches. It grows very fast?

I'm definitely not a pest algae expert, so take my guess with a grain of salt, but possibly chrysophytes?

Lyngbya?

Looks like green hair algae or dying green hair algae. I suggest top crown snails and pencil urchins

Based on a google search of this I think this might be what it is. I read that chrysophytes like low nutrient environments which would make sense given I have a low bio load and don't feed a lot.
