I am dealing with some algae in my display. Found these on the sandbed. They look like some kind of algae on the small rubble rock in the sandbed. This same kind of algae is growing on my big live rocks as well. Is this Bryopsis or turf algae?

What is the best treatment. This is only in my 25 gallon tank so tangs and fish like that are a no go. Maybe urchins or lawnmower blenny?

Ohhhh they are on pieces of rubble, looks like turf algae I had. My pods lived in it so I didn't remove it and eventually it disappeared.

Is it on all sides or does it only look this way from the top down?
