White cotton like hair algae/sponge? Need help please!

[Timich]

Please help me identify this weird white hair looking fuzz. I couldn't find anything on google images or on this page. Looks almost like hair algae but white and more silky and spider web like. It's dense and is mostly under my rocks or on the side. Already irritating my zoas I have above it. Ordered testing kits so can't say what my params are. Did a water change about 50% cause I'm sure my alk/phos was way out. Sps stn'ing and candy cane better but was "melting." So water change diff helped but this white stuff hasn't disappeared

It's just a guess but maybe a species of Lyngbya cyanobacteria.

You got the Dr Emmitt Brown macro algae growing

Its actually natural occurring DIATOMS growing. You're going thru the "Uglies" phase every seasoning tank goes thru. don't do anything and ride it out with consistent maintenance

Okay Marty?
