Weird stuff(algae?) on frag rack/drags

[Zeal]

So I’m not entirely sure what this is... this frag rack with these plugs have this weird algae growing on them looks like little hairs... not green hair algae tho.

And not sure what this stuff is on the rack I was able to blow it off tho... I think it could be Reef roids settling on it.

I’m hoping it’s not Cyanobacteria...
everything else looks great

Pics were taken after the lights were off for about 4 hours

What kind of clean up crew do you have. Snails? Crabs? Which ones?

Could be Cyanobacteria. Is it slimy and easy to blow off? Really not too hard to remove, but no CUC member will really eat it if I recall.

I have a snails and hermits. At this point I don’t know which snails I have because there’s babies literally everywhere and I have a lot of random stuff that someone magically reproduced in my tank

It wasn’t really slimy I was able to take it off with a soft brush and blew most of it away

Are you talking about these as well?

Yellow looks like a harmless barnacle.
Blue a sessile worm or snail

#reefsquad, ID?

It doesn't look like cyanobacteria to me. Some nonspecific filamentous algae. And you could have a tiny hitchhiker or two as NY_Caveman suggests; I can't really tell for sure from those images.
