is this bryopsis or just hair algae this little algae is appearing in my tank thats a few weeks old now, I hope it isnt the start of bryopsis, and its just hair algae, little pieces seem to stick to the glass and grow, but none of them are large and it isnt spreading to quickly at the moment, so if it something that I need to combat please let me know, the tank is just finishing the cycle i believe, amonia is a 0 nitrites are at zero and my nitrates are declining (went from 40 down to 20 and hasnt gone back up in several days) only stuff in the tank is a small button polyp rock, couple turbo snails and a blue leg hermit, was gonna get more hermits(5 more) shortly cause my coralline is coming back nicely and I want to combat the bad algaes with a small clean up crew, if they eat it clean and there are too many I can trade them back to the LFS for something else(our store is pretty decent, I was suprised)oh also got some pods on the polyp rock, I was stoked about that
