Hello, my tank is almost 3 months old and I have softies and LPS in it. Everything was going well until this week. I realized all glow polyps closed and some form of brownish hairy things hanging on rocks. It became more and more tulle-shaped and covered my corals.
I do water changes every week for 10% and give my corals Red Sea Ab+. My light is AI Prime HD has a schedule with 8 hours of full light and 1.5 hours of ramping up and down duration.

Could you please help me identify this thing and give me a suggestion to get rid of it?

It looks like dinoflagellates. Do you notice that this brown slime disappears overnight after lights are off and returns by the end of the daily light cycle?

I would consider adding live phytoplankton and copepods. Syphon out what you can and add filter floss and swap it out each day as it becomes accumulated with the brown slime.
