What type of algae is this. Which CUC do I need? Thanks!

This stuff (photo) has been growing on glass and LR. While I can scrape them off the glass, they seem to come back quickly and grow from a dot to the pictured size in a few days. Snails (turbo) and shrimp (fire and skunk) don't seem to care for it. Ant thoughts on what it is and what it needs?

Thanks!

Looks to be some kind of turf algae. You can manually remover it as it sprouts up as it releases easily.

Turf or hair algae possibly. Blue legged hermits turbo snails do well with this . Though I’m not a fan of the turbos cause they go around the tank like little bulldozers and knock frags loose. But they do like to munch this stuff and are easy to re home

Thank you! Agreed about turbos being bulldozers!
