I’ve been battling this hairy algae for months now and I’m starting to doubt my original diagnosis. At first I was certain this is GHA but having fought with it hard for so long I’m starting to wonder if it’s something else.

Here is a video of some under whites on my rock: https://youtube.com/shorts/Nbh-RUbITzk?feature=share

And images of a sample under a microscope at 100x magnification:

Soooo…is this GHA? Or something else?

Lots of people have had success with flucanazol or you can do the @brandon429 method. Yours really isn't as bad as most based on the video.
