I do not get much algae, except for the occasional stuff on the side of the tank after about a week if I do not scrub. On my skimmer there is a bunch of long thick algae, almost seaweed like growing on it. It's been there for awhile and it is not anywhere else in my tank. My Kole Tang and Clown pick at it once in awhile to eat, but it hasn't caused any issues and my levels are always fine. Is this is an issue, should I get rid of it, or is this just signs of a healthy tank? Picture attached.
