I've had this algae few months back (did some googling but came up with no conclusion). Did fluconazole treatment for 3 weeks and they're gone.
But in past week or so these things started to appear on some parts of rock. I don't wanna do another fluconazole if there's a more natural way.
Would dosing vibrant help? Please kindly shed some light how to fight this.

I have 2 solutions for you. 1 is to completely black out the tank for a week. Put a cloth over the tank for a week and the algae will disappear. If this is not possible because you have live corals than just limit your light. Put it on for 6 hours a day until it goes away. the complete black out is much quicker. Another way is to vacuum the surface. uneaten food breaking up puts things in the tank that algae likes. vacuum the bottom, scrub the glass and it should all go away.
