What type is it

[Teaman89]

We got back into reef (THANK GOODNESS) and our tank has been up and going for 4 months. I didn’t get the diotoms like last time. But I have
Acquired a new type I haven’t seen before. Can I get some info on it and what you guys do to get rid of it.

Looks like baby bryopsis

From those images

It's a nuisance algae, whatever it is

Manually remove it. CUC like an urchin or maybe some nessarius snails

This looks like it might be Bryopsis. @vetteguy53081 typically has great advice on how to deal with it so I’ll let him comment.

This is indeed bryopsis and is one of the more challenging of algae due to need of its complete removal. Removal is best accomplished by taking the rock out of tank and placing in a container of tank water. Then you will want to pull as much as you can by hand and discard. With a dental pick or small crochet needle, pull the roots off the rock. YOU MUST GET EVERY ROOT OR IT WILL SIMPLY RETURN !!
After you are done return rock to tank and reduce white light intensity and even hours of white light and add the following cleaners which will help with control. These guys will consume bryopsis but not as fast as bryopsis can grow - They will never keep up.
Pin cushion urchin, Chiton snails, pitho crabs, and larger astrea snails

This procedure is not as bad or time consuming as it seems. Assure phosphate levels do not become elevated which helps feed this algae

Thank you for your knowledge on this. I will get started on it before it gets out of control. I will update my progress.

You can also get a cheap dental kit from Amazon. They work very well and you get 4 or 5 different tools.
