So Ive had this algae before. Without a microscope it looks like dino’s on the sand bed, but when you het up close you see its more like small vines winding through the sand. Not really harming anything it just kinda looks ugly on the sand bed. (It doesnt look hairy like GHA or turf algae) Anyone know what it is or any good

Looks like Green Hair Algea and diatoms. Clean up crew Mexican turbo snails, Cerith, Trochus and of course Urchin (tuxedo/pincushion). Most of all make sure your nutrients are not high

Definitely a whole bunch of diatoms probably making it look worse lol. But as you can see they did their job and no dinos!
