Kill the blues and give us white light pics so we can see what color that stuff is. I don't think it's Bryo, but better pics will give us a better base to start with. If you pull a piece out does it maintain it's shape or turn to slime?

Kinda looks like bryopsis. If you pull a piece out, does it hold it's shape or does it turn to green slime?

Looks like bryopsis.... I had it too. Used fluconazole to get rid of it. Bryopsis was all gone in 2 weeks. One dose.

It's hard to tell because there is hair algae on it as well. But when I pull a some out some does hold its shape and some turn a to slime.

So, ya got the mean, green combo. The slime is GHA, the not-slime is bryopsis. The Fluco will do it in. Check your nutrient's. Bet they're elevated.
