Hi! I noticed these hair-like strands in the sand today, I’m guessing it’s hair algae ;) I just did a water change and gravel vac yesterday and didn’t even notice it. Anything to be concerned about? This is a Fowler tank.

Diatoms can form colonies and strings like this. Dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria can as well. I’ll guess
diatoms.
