Can anyone tell me what type algae this is?

Looks like dinos. The bubbles are just air collecting in them.
My tank is going on 4-5 months and just clearing. Normal ugly tank syndrome. Dinos, a small bit of red-slime, some hair...
I dropped in a good CuC, a load of pods, and used a turkey baster to blow any detritus off the rocks every couple days combined with a bi-weekly water change (10-20%).
Running a small UV, don't know if its making a difference or not.
Got some info that Sally Lightfoot Crabs were worthwhile. Its amazing how much (s)he has cleaned up all rock algaes, they're a new soild part of any future CuC.
I'm clearing now, hope to hit the 6 month mark with a crystal tank.

Here’s the tank parameters as of right now
Lighting schedule as of right now is AP700 900-1800 ramps down at 2100 with no moonlight. Currently turned off both Hydras. I read water changes are a no with dinos. I feed live phyto almost every night to try and outcompete the Dinos. I’m sure a lot of this has to do with the tank being only 3 months but should I dose peroxide. Thinking about doing a 3 day blackout while dosing peroxide or should I just leave that alone.

Will the sally lightfoot eat your corals or fight with my shrimp? I currently have a fighting conch with about 10-15 Trochus snails. Should I add an urchin to help? Mickey also sent me info on the Coral Vue 6x turbo twist Uv on sale at Chewys. Might pick that up also
Have a conch, 2 camel shrimp, one blood cleaner shrimp, one Emerald, 15 mixed snails, and 4 hermits in a 32g.
The only killers are the hermits, the crab is happy to munch on algae and grab food on the sand.
My urchin is great at cleaning rocks, though I find myself in agreement with Matt now that an urchin in a small tank is like an interior designer on crack.
You're welcome to my smallish urchin if you'd like him, after I pry off the 2 coral frags, the snail, and the shed skin of the blood shrimp that he's using as decor.

I may take you up on that offer for the urchin as long as it’s not a long spine urchin.
