Green Algae Clifton

Have green algea, not hair algea though, popping up pretty bad after upgrade to a 100 gallon.
Same rock but new sand bed. Anyone know the cause? pretty well covers sand within a day or 2

Does it siphon off? Does it look like green cyano? What kind of sand did you use?

Comes off pretty quickly. not really like a slime.
If you move the sand around is dissipates pretty quickly.
It was a live sand I purchased from Absolute fish.
