Algae growth
Can someone help identify and recommend treatment for this green algae? It started 4 weeks ago and getting worse growing on live rocks and even my leather and monti. It does not look like GHA. Thought it was green coraline but can scrape off. ? Bryopsis or turf algae?
No changes made recently and chemistry stable: Alk 8.9 Ca 458 Mag 1340 Nitrates 0 Phosphate 0.05 Salinity 1.026 Temp 78.3 pH 8.0 Lights are on about 10 hours with 2 hours ramp on and 2 hours ramp off. Would vibrant or Fluconazole help?   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Can you turn the blue channel on your lighting way down or off and take pictures?
Proper color rendition is important for identification shots and all that blue light really messes with colors.. How old is the tank? What type of lighting?

It is 6 months old. It was a transfer from a one year old 120 gallon to a 210 gallon.
Lights are aquatic life hybrid with Radion g4 pro and 4 ATI t5. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

No bubbles. Not cyano since it is completely green. The purple red on rocks are Coraline.

Cyano can certainly be green.. Its most commonly red/maroon but can be green too.. Its actually referred to as the "Blue-green algae" From wikipedia Quote:
How old are the T5 bulbs? As they get older and their spectrum shifts algae tends to grow more.. Got a clean up crew? snails,etc... "should" take care of that
