Could you help me identify this 'algae' please?
My 3 corals have already been suffocated by this
I tried methods for cyano and for dino but both were futile.

I tried:
- lowering parameters
- raising parameters
- scrubbing it off
- GFO in/out
- VSV
- dosing bacteria (MicrobeLift Special Blend)
- frequent water changes
- infrequent water changes
- increasing/lowering food
Parameters history in the attachment.
It's hard to pull it out and seems like it's been worse when I started to scrub it off with a toothbrush.
It's 190G so it would be a huge amount of manual work. Any chemistry? But I'd need to identify it somehow
It's like purple in colour and pretty thick (not slime).
It's really hard to remove, I basically cannot do it with fingers, only toothbrush helps.
No long strings rather turf.
And do not produce air bubbles (no photosynthesis?).
