Algae ID with video

[turbo2oh]

I need some assistance Identifying the algae in my tank. I’m attaching a video. If I scoop it up it does kind of hold together in that it’s kind of stringy doesn’t feel mucus or slimy.

My tank parameters are:
Calcium: 421
Alk: 8.2
mg: 1213
Phosphate: 0.13
Nitrate: 0

I know I should try to get nitrate up general but would like to ID the algae first. I did recently have some GHA that’s mostly gone. Not sure if this is remnants of that or something else. My yellow eye Kole tang does pick at it some.

Looks like hair algae, or Cladophoropsis (Green Wiry Algae). Would recommend cutting down the lights or doing a blackout, and then physically removing as much as possible. This can be a stubborn type of algae so you may be battling it for a while before finding something that works. Tuxedo or pincushion urchins would help as well.

Can anyone ID this algae. I’m afraid it’s bryopsis

I mean there is some fern-like growth at the tips on the right side, but the rest could be something else entirely like Cladophora. It looks like a mix of different algae
