I am just getting going after cycling so taking it slow, but over the past week to week and a half the tank has exploded with this algae all over. I am running the lights on low intensity and only for about 6 hours a day. I am asking as if this is Bryopsis I want to address it now before adding more then the few cleanup crew I have so far.

Some of it apperas to have the feathery appearance of bryopsis. Could be a mix of hair and bryopsis but I think bryopsis.
 
That’s what I was thinking as it has the fern look and that’s what everything I have read says to look for.
