What is this all over my rock?
Trying to figure out what all this stuff is all over my rock. It is spread over the rocks on the higher flow half of the tank. Is it hair algae? It got to this point in about 2 days. It does blow off the rock with a turkey baster, but floats around my tank if I do so. I do run GFO and a protein skimmer, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Just let it run its course?

The corals look good. I would probably just let it run it's course. What exactly are your parameters though?
You might want to look into bryozoans as well. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2082939 |

Ammonia is 0
Nitrite is 0 Nitrate is 0 Alk is 8.7 Calcium is 420 Magnesium is 1400 pH is 8.2 Definitely doesn't look like bryozoan... looks more like a linty hair lol almost like dead hair algae, but the last outbreak of green hair algae I had was when the tank finished cycling... months ago. |

Can you get a more "defined" picture of it?
