I have been battling dinos with H2O2, now battling lyngba with kent marine tech M and raising mag to 1600, the pictures below of are an unidentified algae that disappears at night, and isn't quite like red cyano. The algae is brown, fuzzy and very thin. It also seems to lightly attach itself to the rocks but it grows on the sand the most.

Possibly calothrix?
