My tank is getting this brown stuff. What is it and how can I fix it? Recommendations?

Is the tank new? It looks like diatoms. They go away on their own.

It’s diatoms. A normal part of the cycle. It will clear up within a few weeks.

I couldn’t find it but someone suggested a post by someone who also have YouTube channel. It has an extensive list of different inverts and one of them at least eats diatom.

Very few will. A conch sometimes will.
