Bryopsis. "hair algae" is a broad term including this and the softer type as well as many others that appear similar. The same method of attack for all.

Thanks Mr X. I have 0 Nitrates and 0 phosates according to a hanna checker. Any suggestions on what might eat this? It isnt everywhere but I have noticed it is slowly spreading to other rocks. I skim heavily and run gfo and carbon and do frequent water changes with ro di water

An urchin maybe. Some crabs perhaps. Emeralds possibly.
