    Maybe it hitchhiked on your plants or filter as a tiny shrimplet, only when it grew bigger then it started to graze around.

    Btw, that's some interesting algae you have in your tank, what kind are they?

    BGA that has started to carpet his dying mosses. Do you have a tank with Rili nearby? It may have jumped over.

    I just increase water flow around the area, tends to keep it in check. Sometimes manual removal works. If your moss already dead then better to remove it.

    Most likely in front of the computer screen if the status is green.

    Bga is my first guest during the new tank syndrome in the past,

    increase your flow, reduce light especially on that affected area and drop more nitrate ferts ( unless you already EI dosage, which i felt should suffice) till it reduce.

    Use aerator if possible during night ( i felt tedious with this point, if did not last long for my case)

    It's an orange rili. C328 sells them.

    Yes this is a red rili. Could probably be hiding in the plants that you bought
