    your corals are not liking the hair algae and keeping your water stable and clean will fix GHA!

    Does this algae get long, stringy and develop bubbles?

    It is growing off corals?

    idk if it is growing off corals but i can tell you that it is really stringy and bubbles that from over it.

    are the bubbles just air?
