Hi! A newbie hobbyist here. These white, fuzz/fine hair like algae appeared practically overnight on my rocks. Would appreciate some help IDing it. The tank (Fluval Evo 13.5G) finished cycling three months ago.

current live stock:
A RBTA
A zoa frag
An emerald crab
A peppermint shrimp
2 Mexican turbo snails

water parameter:

salinity: 1.025
Temp: 76F
pH: 8.3
NH3: 0
NO2: 0
NO3: 0
Mg: 1200
Ca: 280
PO4: 0
Kh: 150

I know calcium and magnesium are on the lower end. I am addressing these issues now.

Thank you so much for the help identifying this algae!
