I have a well established 3+ years SPS tank running ULNS. In the past month, I'm seeing a type of brown string/fuzz algae growing in several places on the live rock and on some coral branches (none on the sand).
The algae is brown in color. It is not slimy, does not contain trapped air bubbles, and grows as a long fuzzy chain a few inches long. It pulls off from the rock easily- a lot easier than green hair algae.
I'm looking for an expert out there that can identify it from the pics below. Pics were taken with microscope objectives of 0.10, 0.25, and 0.65.
Thanks for your help!
