Guess the algae

[Aquattro]

Anyone want to take a guess at what this is? Looks like bryopsis, but short and bushy. Best I could do for pics after water change

Looks like green hair algae to me

Denser, won't pull off, fern like leaves to it.

Ace pumping is a bryopsis expert he can tell between different strains I would talk to him

And, to add insult to injury, historically I have had a huge battle with NO3, some PO4. Haven't even bothered testing in forever, until right now. Both PO4 and NO3 at 0ppm. FML

Just did water change, going to hit it with the Kent Mg OD, see what that does. Some of the algae elsewhere is bryopsis for sure, and this stuff looks similar.

Recent sea hare addition didn't touch it, and has apparently died. Or is hiding REALLY well

I'd say bryopsis as well.

with high algae loads you will have 0 no3 and po4 due to uptake of algae.

1500+ mg was no help to me against bryopsis.

Seahares can bury themselves as well.

Might be time for a turf scrubber.

I think if the Mg doesn't do it, I'm packing it up. Out of ideas and not motivated to do more.
