Purple hair in our 65 gal aquarium

[Shrewsbury]

Hey ladies and gentlemen my name is Cody shrewsbury and my spouse's name is amber. We're about 1.5 yes in with our saltwater aquarium and we've tried to be the best handlers possible but it's become an aggravation since this purple hair looking stuff came its a mat kinda stuff and our local pet store said it's cyanobacteria and told us to treat it with cheme clean and it done it multiple times and nothing is changing idk what to do my corals and everything else is fine I just have a cleaning shrimp that is dirty and has stuff on its Antanees but the corals are doing amazing and the fish seem happy I just need a fix no matter the work or money I gotta do

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!!

It certainly looks like cyano. In surprised chemiclean didn't work. Do you have any ideas what your nitrate and phosphate levels are at?

Im not a 100% but appears to be hair algae covered with cyano bacteria. Pics are dark to confirm and best when taken under white light intensity only

What size tank and what do you use for circulation and water flow? Brand, model, and level / settings if applicable.

This can come from lack of flow
