I haven’t added anything to my tank in a couple weeks and this hair like algae started to appear in the last 3-4 days.
Spreading rather quickly.
I’m about 80% sure it is byropsis but hoping it’s not!
Tank is only 6-7 weeks old. This algae seems to only be growing in the sand bed, hasn’t really bad its way on to the Rocks yet. Lmk what y’all think

Yep that looks like bryopsis to me. It appears to have the classic “fern” like structure. I would suggest fluconazole. When I eliminated mine I used Reef Flux HD.
 
Bryopsis
I have had success using Liquid vibrant to get rid of it. Fluconasal at 20mg per gallon for two weeks also works
