This started out as a tiny spot of fuzz and I thought my turbo snail would it it but it isn't eating it. It has been here a few months so it is growing slowly, but should I just rip it out or will that make it spread all over the tank?

Sea hare or try NoPox from Red Sea, easy to use and will help you a lot in control that hairy algae
a sea hare would be cool, maybe i will look for one of those

IME, turbos and sea hares eat new hair algae. Do t know why, but I've never seen them eat the stuff that's been there for awhile.
Fish tanks and Chevys... And now my cousin's Datsun too.
Established in the south east, but now reside in Chula Vista.
I've had stuff that nothing would eat, and I mean NOTHING. I had a turbo crawl into the middle of it, eat a few bites then die. Never could figure out quite what it was but it looks similar to this. I tried blennys, snails, crabs, sea hairs and the only thing that worked was plucking it out and keeping the water as clean as possible.

Maybe this is a Cyanobacteria?
Cyanobacteria can produce neurotoxins, cytotoxins, endotoxins, and hepatotoxins (e.g., the microcystin-producing bacteria genus microcystis), and collectively known as cyanotoxins.
From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanobacteria
(I wish my ex would nibble on a patch of this)
Do you guys think refreshing my CuC might help? All my crabs are gone except one blue leg hermit, so maybe a few more hermits and snails and things?

Cyanobacteria is red, and although nothing eats Cyanobacteria; what's pictured looks like hair algae. If that's all that's in your tank, just pluck it out and call it a day.
Hard to tell, but it could be Bryopsis, which would explain why nothing is eating it.
There is a really good & interesting article on Reef2reef about using Fluconazole for Bryopsis.
