Can you ID this Algae?

[smaraghy]

Hello,
Im having trouble finding this algae online. It is green, fibrous, brittle. Several staulks grow out from a single point of origin. It will not scrub off with a toothbrush and usually just breaks off when you try to remove by hand.
I have attached a picture of it below.
If someone recognizes it could you please let me know its name as I would like to search how to remove it/ what eats it.

thanks!

Hard to tell with just a piece of it, usually best to give tank shots. But it does look like GHA and one of the easiest critters to keep that eats it really well is a Turbo snail. If you have a lot of the algae I would get one Turbo per 10 gal of tank size. If you get too many of them you will have a few die on you because they won't have much to eat after it's gone.

But to be sure of it being GHA please post a picture of your tank.

I have some common GHA mixed in but this seems different. GHA is easily pulled off the rocks and scrubs off quickly with a toothbrush. This will not brush off the rocks and usually just breaks off when you try to remove it manually. It is stiffer than GHA and more brittle. Also has way better adhesion then common GHA.

thanks!

Other sugestions?

I'm going to agree with you that it's NOT gha.

It looks like bryopsis to me. More stocky then gha

Although bryopsis looks like small ferns correct? This stuff just branches....
