Hi everyone!

I'm having a hard time identyfing this algae in my tank, does anyone know what kind it is and why did it appear?
It grows on sand and rock, and a little on the glass too. It's color is brown with a slight tint of green and they look like little branches.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Looks like bryopsis to me
Thanks for the answer, but isn't byropsis fully green? What I have is like 95% brown.
The tank is fairly New btw, around 2 months old. Right now i'm kinda just waiting if it gets worse or not.

If the tank is only 2 months old, it probably will get worse, then better. A new tank has to go thru what we call the " ugly phase" in order to get to the desired phase.
