What is this

[Wolf89]

What is this algae on my glass? It seems to be attached at one end and the the other side it floating and moving. I did a water change last week and it is ready back. What do I do about? Is there snails or something else that eats it?

Can you post a pic. I dont see anything.

There is one in the original post, but here's another

Anyone?

Looks like diatoms. If it's on your glass, only snails will be able to eat it. Do you have a cuc?

Do you have a cuc?

No, I dont know what that is

Short for clean up crew - snails like trochus and turbo should eat that algae

I have 3 big turbo snails. They haven't touched thisbstubb. It is growing recalling fast, and now there are clumps of it floating around. It makes my tank look nasty. What is this and how do I counter it?

Hermits dont seem to touch it
