Can someone help ID and let me know what I should do. I have this brown stringy algae on my tank bed, some pieces starting on my rocks and a little on my coral. How do I treat?

Hello and #WelcometoR2R

Can you give a little information about the tank. How long has it been running and what are the water parameters at? It could be a few things, possibly some cyano.

It’s only been running two months or so. The algae blows off with a turkey badger, so it’s not stuck on too bad. Water parameters are all good last I checked but I haven’t tested for Mg...just the basics. I feed frozen mysis every other day, have 4 fish and quite a few LPS all doing well.
 
Same issue here- I vacuum it out but come right back with a vengeance. Did a water change. Gonna do another one this week. How far apart should water changes be for this and will it go away? It’s like new tank syndrome.
