Hairy algae...what to do?
Hello guys,
I have this hairy white transparent algae growing from a couple of spots on my live rock. Any idea of what it is and how to deal with it? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

On a new tank its nothing to worry about, keep an eye on it and make sure water parameters stay in check.
Might use a brush and get it off and clean up excess with a fine net. |

Is it being colonized by bacteria.. Highly likely to one degree or another.. Thus its live rock..

You should take a picture every week at the same angle it will be cool to watch it go from white to purple with all the mini blooms along the way.
