Algae ID

[tonychi4796]

My cycle is done, but i started growing this algae and I’ve never seen anything like it before or online. If someone could help give me insight as to what it is and how to get rid of it that would be much appreciated!

It’s usually easier to identify a number of macro algae after it grows out so structures can better develop and be easier to ID.  
 

Sounds like you just finished your cycle process so I’m sure that your tank is still pretty unstable.  Regardless of type of algae, at this stage I’d recommend manual removal and continue to perform your weekly water changes.
