I do not have a phosphate test yet. however my nitrate test is reading 0 on the API test kit. And I used Marco rock (dead rock)That looks like green hair algae. It is common in new tanks.
The only thing you can do is scrub it clean with a tooth brush and do regular water changes.
What are your nitrate and phosphate test numbers?
Did you use live rock or dry rock when you set up your tank?
I had a previous hair algae that was more easy to remove but it went away. The more dark green hair algae as seen in the photo has been around for around a month and a half and has been slow growing but hard to remove. Would a tuxedo urchin help with this? I currently have a refugium, UV sterilizer and protein skimmer going.Algae will consume your nitrates. How long have you had it for?

Thank you, It does not appear to look like bryopsis. But I will keep doing water changes and manual removalTo me, it looks like bryopsis. The best way to remove it would be with fluconazole or reefflux. Do some searching on bryopsis and see if what you have matches and look up treatment with fluconazole. There are a fair few threads on here about treating it.
