Hey, I have a 10g tank just a clown and a lot of live rock. But I started growing what looks to be hairy diatoms but there are what looks to be air bubbles. I was wondering what it was. It looks like dynos up close.

It looks like the stuff might be a mixture of hair algae plus slime of some sort. Only a microscopic exam would sort this out.

Looks like GHA that is pearling on top. Get your hands wet with manual removal and a diverse cleaner crew.
