Need help with Algae ID

Any chance of a better picture?
Thank you! I would say ulva aka sea lettuce
If that's it, they sell that as macro algae if I am right
Hi Kshweer.
That looks pretty close. Now, how do I eliminate it.
I do weekly water changes. My parameters look good. I give about 7 hours of lights.
I pulled all of it off the rocks last weekend, but they are back.
My tank is very young and this could also be part of the reason that I'm getting this algae.

To be honest I have never had to deal with it in a DT. I would suggest manual removal first, then scrub the areas with a toothbrush or similar, while keeping your nutrients low.
Maybe he just hasn't found it yet, how long has the algae been in there that you are aware of? I agree with kevin, the best way is to remove and scrub it, you can soak the area in hydrogen peroxide as well out of the water for a few minutes if that is an option, that will kill it off.
