Tank is new so still going through the ugly stage on and off. I have some cuc but the turbo snail can’t seem to get to a lot of the crevices on the rock. It’s like brown string algae, I’ve tried using a turkey baster and a toothbrush but it’s still hard to get it off the rocks.

I can see the "strings" of the algae. If you can post a pic in white light it will help to identify it, but sounds like dino's.
