Green Patch Growth Identification

[187ReefTank]

Hi fellow reefers! Can someone help me identify these two new growths in my tank. One is by the anemone and the other is by a coral frag. Are the they same or different and what are they?

If it is something I need to get rid of, how do I do that?

Thanks guys, about 10 months into reefing now.

They look like tufts of hair algae to me

You can manually remove it by pulling it and discarding it. Probably a good time to beef up your clean up crew, urchin, snails and crabs to help manage whats to come. How old is your tank?

The one under the anemone looks like bryopsis. And the other one can be either green hair algae or beginnings of bryopsis, can't tell from quality of photo.

I would get some more CUC in your tank or pull the algae out by hand.
