What's on my trochus snail?

[Philly Reefer]

So I didn't realize this but I guess this snail has this since I got them 2 weeks ago?

Looks hairy stuff. Is that hair algae?

could be, probably cyano though

I may not have paid attention when I got them. It might be there from the beginning.
What should I do? Can I scrub them out?

I’ve used toothbrushes but it doesn’t really do anything. It’ll probably end up looking like mine

That purple algae kinda looks cool.
This is my one of mine, it’s my favorite shell

Looks like a type of cyano or corraline... If you want it off take em out and give their shell a good scrub!

If it's corraline, I would welcome it. Tank is only 3 mths old. Cyano.. not so much..
