Nuisance algae?

[anglefishlover]

Started seeing this pop up in the tank? What is it and should I do anything about it other than manual removal? Algae eaters not interested in it.

Looks like bryopsis or maybe even Dinoflagellates. Probably manual removal is the best and some chemicals can get rid of it. Id recommend getting more opinions first though.

Bryopsis, flucanizole works fast.

If you want to use a chemical I would recommend this. Blue life RX

i assume nothing eats this stuff? I have lots of herbivores and nothing touching it.
Thanks for advice on treatment and id

Looks like Bryopsis to me.

Here are some tips to help get rid of it.
Unfortunately, not much really wants to eat it.

How To Get Rid Of Bryopsis

Bryopsis is a nuisance macroalgae similar to green hair algae. The main difference in identifying bryopsis is that each strand feathers out like a fern.
