Hi is this a type of hair algae or turf ?

this is a new tank 50% live rock from gulfliverock from floridas ocean, and half Marco rock.

I was wondering all this green hair looking algae stuff on the Marco rocks only pretty sure it spread from the y cure live rock

How would you go about getting rid of this?

if it were my tank, I would be planning on 2-4 weeks of lower light, with little or no white/red spectrum and carefully manually removing what you can. Small tuxedo urchin or two to get the new stuff..

good luck, we have all been there
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
