Does look like cyano this might be in a flow dead spot i turkey baster the sand to remove it either that or you can cut hrs of light, reduce your feed, up your cuc, or invest in chemi pure to put in your filtration hope this helps

No tellin what that is, looks like you have a whole carpet of algae there.

Reefing Madness is right.

I thought the other stuff was the sand bed and that the photo was on its side defo cut light and amount of food fed

Thats a photo of the weir ok iv dropped light hours 2 8 per day and i only feed tiny amount of flake every second day, my turbo disappeared a week ago im guna buy 4 more next week hopefully they handle the outbreak

Honestly, don't get any more turbos. There is no guarantee that they will clean up the algae, but its guaranteed that if they die, they will only contribute to the problem more.

I had two turbo snails they were ok but when they died in caused a nitrate spike emeralds (crabs) are amazing algae munchers
