Identify this algae...

[Jakepen]

I've had this algae growing for the last two weeks now. Tank is 30 gallons, six months old, alk stays around 9.5, calcium 480 at the moment, mag 1400 salinity 1.026, phosphate read 0 trates read 0. Any ideas?

Cayno, check your nutrients

What nutrients should I be checking? Nitrates and phosphates?

What do you have for clean up crew?

Clean up crew is about 8 trochus, cleaner shrimp, 4 nasarius, two small hermits.

Do you notice the trochus eating it? I noticed you are using poly-fill for filter floss? try something different and see if that helps? I switched mine out for a sponge and that issue has gone away. Not sure if that is the issue, but I kind of want to see if it is?

Yes check your nitrates and phosphates
