Algae ID help!

[mia424]

Hi everyone!

I am pretty new to reefing and I’ve been dealing with what I believe is green hair algae for a few months now. I took some microscopic and macroscopic (under white light only) pictures of it which I will attach below. Can anyone confirm for me what algae I’m dealing with? It is green under white light and appears brown when the blues are on.

Thank you in advance!

Looks like diatom infested hair algae.

Thank you! That’s what I was thinking.
