Came back to this . . . . Please help !

Hello so I just returned from a very long vacation about 7weeks. I have not tested my water nor done waterchange. Had someone feed while I was away and pretty much it.

I have a 40g LPS dominated reef currently running a Fluval 407 filter. And I come back to this algae and I’m guessing bubble. Can I get some help getting this back to normal please

Don’t freak out looks fine, mix of bubble algae and other hair algae etc. time to get some more clean up crew and do a water change probably. Id highly recommend a bunch of tuxedo urchins

Yes looks like bubble algae and GHA. For a 40g I’d recommend one tuxedo urchin, one emerald crab, and a bunch of trochus, astrea, and margarita snails. That’s what I have in my 32.5 and while a little smaller, you want to get rid of it and still have stuff for them to graze in without jacking up your parameters!
