    Hey guys! Longtime browser, first time poster here. I was hoping some of you might be able to help me identify this algae that has been slowly spreading in my tank. It is almost like wire, and impossible to pull up - it is embedded in all of my live rock. Would love to find something that could mow down on this!

    I'd be very grateful for any help you guys could give me!

    Thanks,

    Luke

    Looks like it might be Bryopsis Algea?

    Edit: On second look it doesn't have the fern like look to it, so Im not sure what it is. But Ill bump for ya.
