Anyone ID this stuff? Cyano was growing on it initially but that was taken care of with peroxide dosing to tank. The stuff I scrape off appears to not grow back.
NO3 4.6
PO4 0.013

Looks like new turbo snails are eating it, any ideas how to remove? Will not remove rocks and scrub.

Thanks!

Are you sure it's not dinos growing on hair algae? From the pictures (granted, I am on the little screen of my phone) that looks to me a lot like dinos and looks like it is growing all over something green.

It does look like that, I’m also seeing resemblance to cyano, thank you for the reply!
