Anyone know what this algae is? Kind of looks like grass and I was thinking green hair algae but this doesn’t really match and I have had that in the past. It’s not on the rocks but it’s starting to pop up in the sand, maybe it’s bryopsis

Always keep my tank super clean and never had any algae outbreaks till i purchased 2 nassarius snails and 1 emerald crab. Since that i noticed a loots of poop on the sand bed, and every 2nd, 3rd day the sand bed covers with brown looking algae. Then it takes over the glass. It super annoying!!!and I DON't KNOW WHAT TO DO I DO NOT OVERFEED my tank at all. i feed my clowns every 3-4 day with a small pieced of food and nothing drops on the sand bed. My stupid API nitrate test shows 0. I don't believe it!!! I don't have test for phosphate. PLEASE HeLP ME WITH ADVICES! I was thinking to get Finnex HOB refugium and put some macro in there.Do you think it will help? Do i need tot get rid of nassarius Snails?? i don't see any benefits having those anyway. You will see the difference before and after on the pic.
