Hi everyone, the past two months, I have noticed the screen/brown algae, growing on my rocks and sand bed. It is in big clumps when I remove it. Here are some photos. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Also I don’t know what type it is.
Thank you!

Looks like dirty hair algae to me. I have it consistently in my 13.5 gallon, it likes to grow along the powerhead cord generally. I am fairly certain my tailspot blenny takes care of it on my rocks since they never have it. I just rip the chunks off the cord and use it as bonus nutrient export.

Definitely a hair algae breakout. Manual work or this Blue life RX can get rid of it. Just read instructions before use please.

Make sure too remove your carbon filter before using the Blue life RX or it will NOT work
