So I came after a week away to a large bacteria bloom. there's brown algae on the glass and red slime algae in quite few places now including on zoas will this kill zoa?
Also which looks to be some bubble algae on the rocks these are caribsea liferock not live rock.

My levels phosphates nitrates etc are all fine.So what can I do to treat these 3 types of algae is there any good products? also any specific CUC that would eat it?
ice attached some photos below

Buy yourself a turkey baster, a mr clean magic eraser and a couple large mexican turbos. Blow off the rocks with the baster, use the magic eraser on the glass to REMOVE the algae.
You might need to up the flow inside the tank and employ some polishing sponges, media or socks.
