Aglae Identification Help

[ReefIO]

Hi, any idea what this algae is?

It might be a couple varieties..

On my wave maker, it appears golden, soft and almost gelatinous.

On the surface or the water it looks like gold snot.

And, and the rock work it looks brown and fuzzy. But, not hairy..

Chrysophytes? @taricha ?

Chrysophytes? @taricha ?

Agreed. That is their most typical appearance.
