Hi everyone, Can anyone help and tell me if I should be worried? Im 2 and half months in to reef keeping (pretty early on still I know) hence why I need the help, but a few days ago I started noticing long dark red almost black algae growing on my sand and live rock? And there’s quite a lot in the one area of my tank.. does anyone know what this is and if I should be worried? If anyone knows the cause or if it’s just part of the stage I’m in I would like a little bit of advice thanks pic attached at bottom >
