Please help Identify
I believe this is a type of algae. It started off as a reddish patch in the sand. I thought it was cyano/red slime, but now it is long and feathery. Please help identify, it looks kind of neat, but if it's a bad thing I will make sure to remove it! Thanks so much for your expertise

Looks a bit like darker colored hair algae... What are your phosphate and nitrate readings?

Readings are spot on! I actually got a new diamond goby and he seems to have choked it out covering it in sand over and over
