Looks like you might have some hair algae creeping in near the rocks? I had a similar issue and found adding a cleaner crew helped tons plus keeping alk and mag stable. Also curious what kind of lighting you’re running cause sometimes spectrum can make algae pop more. Your clownfish and bubble

Turbo snail or astrea snails should help

Ok thanks

What are you parameters like especially Phosphate and Nitrate? I would suspect they are too high. You may need RedSea NoPo it will balance it out and clear up most of this issue.

@madmax 208d

Ok thanks for the tip

@evanloop 208d

That algae looks stubborn yo snails gonna be your best bet for sure

A good clean up crew can keep that under control. Phosphate are a usual subject like was mentioned. A little GFO can help reduce them.
