What is this algae I have?

[Faye]

I have some sort of algae growing. It is green and looks like lettuce. My tank is still pretty new (approx 10 weeks) so it's gonna get hit with algae blooms, but I've never seen this lettuce before. What is it called? Any invert that will eat it? It grows fast. I've been manually removing it.

Is it possibly Ulva? Sometimes you see it called "sea lettuce" so I figured it was worth a shot. To my knowledge, no clean up inverts specifically target it, but most algae eating fish and possibly crabs would help. A picture would help confirm the algae.

I image searched "ulva", that's it.

Wish mine would grow that fast... Mine has a lot of competition though

Why do you want it to grow?

It's a macro algae that a lot of people grow in their fuge to help export nutrients... Kinda like chaeto

If this is the same algae I'm thinking of.... Been wrong before though
