Brown Furry Algae

[Rsxjh]

Can someone identify this and give me tips to get rid of it?
Clean up crew - 15 crabs, 2 turbo snails

100gallon
Mostly growing where the power heads hit the rock. I am feeding once daily (brine, mysis, pellets) and having with seaweed clip stocked every morning for sailfin tang.

Thanks!

could be cyano or dinos, are you rinsing your frozen food before you feed it?

I'm not rinsing... Dip the frozen stuff and grind it with my finger to spread.

get a small fine fish net and try rinsing it in some RO water before you feed. Or get red slime remover, or GFO, your choice. It's likely caused by too much nutrients some of which will likely come from the frozen foods, rinsing the frozen food should help.

How long has the tank been setup?

Have you previously had a diatoms bloom? Looks like it may be nts and the diatoms are eating up the silicates

I had a bloom weeks ago... Looking at a phosban reactor, think that will do the trick?
