Pesky stringy algae growing under zoos
I turkey blast them constantly and the algae keeps coming back. What kind of snails will clean them? My algae scrubber doesn't seem to keep up with this algae it only grows under corals. No other type algae problems always white sand so not sure why this is such a problem with algae under corals? Plenty of turbulence, nitrates and phosphates read zero.

I had a frag do that. I think they used a bad plug for it that was leaching phosphates. A peroxide dip helped me. If the algae is catching phos at the source your gfo / scrubber never gets a chance to remove it.

I doubt it.
A pic would help, stringy is kinda vague - I was imagining long grass from the bottom

Looks more like a snake polyp than a zoa, but they have concave faces I think. I like the way yours are umbrella shaped, pretty.
I got nuthin for your algae, I don't see anything in the pic. Sorry
