strange alga invades the entire aquarium

[tebo]

Hello friends, I have a partner and friend of the aquarium hobby that disarmed after being held for over a year by this alga that everything appeared and invaded the aquarium, believe me this aquarium had one of the best collections of corals in my country .

If someone in the community knows or has achieved eradication would be helpful to our colleagues, I say that for me is something new, do not know her at all I've seen any type of algae in aquariums less this.

I leave a picture not so good but I hope help

What is the filtering, and the feeding?

looks like a Type of cotton candy algae pretty rare actually, thats my guess.

I'm not sure how to get rid of it but it appears to grow in carbon dosed tanks and can grow under low nutrients fine.

Good work. Never seen this stuff personally.

Is the tank scrubbed ?
