Working my way through the usual culprits: Dinos, Cyano, and now some form of algae, which I'm thinking that it might Bryopsis. I have an all in one tank, and on the back black plastic pane is a sheath of long hairy like algae. I didn't notice this because of the blue lights.

I thought Bryopsis grows only on objects on the substrate such as rocks, and coral frags......am I wrong in that and could I very well be having it grow and flourish on a pane of glass?
