Algae problem

[pat_ask08]

What kind of algae is this? Is there any kind of snail or crab that will eat it? It's getting worse every day. My nitrates are <5, ammonia is 0, ph is 8.3. I did a water change about a week and a half ago

Bryopsis hair algae. Nightmare algae. Nothing likes to eat it. One way to get rid of is to raise your magnesium. The best way is to take the rocks out and clean them so manual removal. My 10 gal is infested. Yours doesn't look horrible yet. Remove it as soon as possible before you add anything else to your system.
