Some help with algae ID

[Dapg8gt]

Have had this frag for a while got it with one head like 6-8 months ago. Up until now it's been clean and free of algae. It's in my frag tank and I noticed some of

it on the base and plug. It has now been spreading after I tried to manually remove it. Hoping it's no like bubble algae and I just started a battle LOL.. Weird how it just popped up with no additions to the tank in a long time and P04 readings pretty steady at .02-.05.. And with carbon dosing I have to try hard to have any nitrates. Thanks.

Looks like a species of bubble algae, maybe Dictyospheria?

I was hoping it wasn't similar. But I should have known when I grabbed it and felt a pop it was all bad. Now it's all over my overflow in a 3x3 patch. The battle begins. I used hydrogen peroxide on the plug and today it's white. Now to deal with the overflow and wait for it to pop up. Guessing my fuge will be infested shortly LOL.

Thanks for the tip. Off to the battle lol.
