I want to be hopeful and say it's corraline... but I'm thinking something else maybe cyano?

Someone please help me identify this algae

Sorry, I'd have to say cyano. Syphon it out during water changes. Blasts the rocks periodically. What kind of flow do you have in the tank? Additional flow may help. It looks rather young, so I wouldn't worry too much. Tanks take time to mature. At the end of the day, phosphates/nutrients feed the algae.

I have one koralia 850 on left middle wall blowing up towards surface for agitation and a sunsun 530 gph on the right back side blowing towards the middle. I use a tunze Comline filter attached on the back blowing towards the back wall I would say about 150-200 gph(max flow is 264 gph and it's dialed a little below max)...

I have a 60g 4 foot tank

I'm running chemi pure elite in the filter with some floss and that's it
