Yes, true but it looks kinda like wirey. There is an algae called Brillo pad which this might be.

Giving it to you straight. Think you can take it.
best bet is manual removal as not much will touch the stuff.

Also do a search on R2R for “GHA or bryopsis” and you’ll find a lot of threads on wire turf algae. GL!

Learning. The more articles the more knowledge I can gain the better I can deal with it.

I scrubbed my frag rack and added a black spot foxface. I really need to pull the trolls and give them a nice scrubbing. So far the foxface is doing a fine job knocking it out.

Thanks for everybody's help.

Last night I got water ready to start scrubbing the trolls. The trolls lost their hair and turned into snails. Foxface is amazing.
