The tough green algae is Bryopsis.

You could chisel it off with various dental hand-held tools.

I have/had the same problem
came in on a bit of live rock..
its not algy its small grass, when u look closely its got the same shaped
leaves as that capnella stuff or whatever the hell its called?
from a distance it almost looks like hair algy.
i still have a little but its not spreading atm. only thing i have done
diferent is started using a Zeolite my pool shop sells, is teh same kind as
the main ingredint of Zeovit. and not i have almost no other algy for the
turbo snails to eat so they keep everywhere i have plucked off the rock VERY
celan and even start moving into fresh earas now. i was told turbo snails
will not eat it but mine are. i guess maybe they will when theres not much
else?

Green grass growing on rocks. It spreads like crazy

I hate hate hate hate it.

Phosphate is not a problem

I pull it off the rocks with tweezers. It's like mowing the lawn, it just
comes back faster

I hate it... You get my point here


Any ideas
