Also noticing it's kind of growing in areas on the sandbed and the edges of the glass where it meets the sandbed. Are we sure its bryopsis or could it be green hair algae? The color seems lighter than bryopsis and its main stems dont seem as thick.

Its strange, because I seemed to always have high nitrate levels, which have been coming down lately due to water changes, but Ive only had low/minimal phosphate levels

A sea hare is a type of gastropod. It will eat algae. A lot of algae. Prob take 2 days and your alage will be gone. The hare will starve and nuke your tank.
