That’s what I would have thought with how hard it was to remove but it flows around like a hair algae I’ll attach a vid.
Would you post a picture under white light?Hi hopefully someone can identify this for me. I’ve never seen anything like this before.

Low calcium(360ppm) and alkalinity(6) I’m working on bringing it up.

Not opposed to upping clean up crew if it’ll help.
