Yellow Algae Id Help...

[J.Davis]

I've been trying to help my Reefing Buddy Id this strange Yellow ... algae?? It's similar to cyano, but yellow. Any one seen this before?
He runs Evolution 20K LEDs. We turned off the "Blues" for these pics. The pics show it alot more green.. but it's really yellow. Hard to get the right color to show up. In contrast, the last pic shows bright green hairy shooms that appear washed out in color. They're not.

Very possible, just never seen it with such a coloration. Was hoping someone could positively ID.

There I know you said it's yellow but there is such a thing as green cyno. It's extremely hard to get rid of it. After battling for years on my tank I shut it down and acid and bleached washed all my rock.
