Algae ID

[cherellzandell]

Can anyone help me ID this algae? It looks like little individual stands of grass. I'm pretty new to this so forgive me if this is super basic, I looked through quite a few other algae ID posts, but haven't yet hit on one that seems to match. I thought maybe bryopsis but it doesn't look fern like to me. Some of it looks like it may spread via runners. I don't have a microscope, I can try to get a shot with my (cheap) macro lense to add to the attached photo. It's in the sand, on the rock and on the wave maker.

I really appreciate any help!

Thanks,

Cherell

Maybe the start of gha? Is it anywhere else in your tank?

It is in other places in the tank, I'll try to get get a couple more photos to post. It doesn't look like the hair algae that I've seen before in the tank, of course that doesn't mean it isn't hair algae. It actually doesn't bug me that much, but if it's harmful, it'll have to go!

Not harmful, you just need more algaeovores

I doubt GHA. It looks interesting. However, I am not familiar with this.
