Algae/Bacteria ID

[wookiefever]

Hello everyone, I am about two weeks into restarting my tank after ich destroyed it (except for two firefish, yellow polyp, and green star). Lost about $250 in fish...

Anyways, I was hoping someone could Id this for me. I recently purchased a UV sterilizer and am hoping it might take care of this if it is algae but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance. (Note image taken under white light only)

you can siphon it out but it will just grow back, takes a few months and it will cycle out

Thanks solidcore do you know what it is though?

It kind of looks like a combination of both green hair algae and dinoflagellates. If it's just on the one rock though I would take it out and scrub the crap out of it in a bucket of saltwater.
