Need to identify this algae

A while back I had a massive bryopsis issue and got rid of it using fluconazale. Now I'm starting to see this in my 29 gallon biocube. Not sure if it's bryopsis because I don't remember my bryopsis being brown. Can someone tell me what it is and what eats it? I have 2 clowns and 1 yellow goby with 2 tiger pistol shrimp.

I think I see a small patch of hair algae in those pictures (they probably look fine on your phone but its all jacked up on a computer with this old forum software)

Your tank its totally fine... please don't tell me you are freaking out about that?

Any suggestions on taking pic of a tank. I have an 18M pixel camera.

For what ID shots? or just shots to show it off? macro shots?

Turn the blue channels off or way down is what I always recommend for ID type shots so that colors are rendered more realistically and many take those pictures on their phones and they tend to focus better without all the blue light too..

There is a photography sub forum here and I believe it has a tips thread there that should have all you need..

One of my complaints is how the images don't come through when posted from tapatalk and when viewed on a computer..
Like your post right here is all jacked up with pictures way off the screen,etc..
But thats really this forum software issue as this stuff is old tech I believe and not really "mobile friendly" except via tapatalk...
