It could be. A toothbrush to scrub it off, and siphon hose is a good way to remove it, then add some “clean up crew” such as snails, blue and/or red leg hermits, and maybe a pincushion urchin to keep it from growing back. I usually go with one clean up crew critter per gallon of display tank size. Welcome!Hi, I’m somewhat new to reefing and have been dealing with this algae. Is this Brown hair algae and if so is there any good ways to remove it?

Welcome! How long you been up and running? Its the ugly stage.
Do you have inverts? snails? hermits? conchs? If not get lots of them. They will help. How far are you past cycle?
