I have some well established live rock and some that's about 5 months old. Its starting to get a lil green algea all over. What to do? And is it something to worry about? Levels seem ok

That is just probably just coralline algea. Wouldn't worry (good) Not sure how to get off but maybe by scraping it off

Aloha,

I'm not convinced.
Lets throw out some pics and see just what it is. Smile

Here is green Coralline Algae with pink Coralline Algae dots beginning to appear.


This should be a pic of Green Cyano on the sand:

Mahalo,
