Need Algae ID Help

Hoping someone can give me some ID on this algae. It's fortunately slow growing, tho lately I've been finding it in more and more spots in the tank... First pic of it is where it's even growing along the edge of our feeding ring. It's some pretty wiry stuff, and it's pretty hard to pull. Don't have much of a cleanup crew right now, so nothing to munch on it. It's a 40BR with 2 clowns, a fighting conch, some hermits and miscellaneous snails.

Suggestions? I'm pretty sure it's not Bryopsis, which is a bit of a relief. Maybe some kind of Cladophoropsis? Fairly certain it came in on a frag, since we started the tank with BRS dry rock.

I'm hoping someone here can give me some ideas so I can get an appropriate cleaner to make it gone. Thanks in advance!

Algae is algae..
Nutrients and Light are what fuel it...

Lower the nutrients and you can starve it out..

What are your nitrate and phosphate readings?
