    looks like BBA to me. well, I'm guessing BBA because it stands for black beard algae. is the light directly on top of the rock? and is the water flow weak or none around that area?

    yes, directly on top. rock near water outlet. leaf are swirling, flow should be ok.

    If its bba, is it harmful?

    BBA is very dark bluish green, looks black to me perhaps due to the light.
    Definitely not a plant that you introduced.
    Do spot dose with Seachem Excel while your flow is off, and leave it for 10 to 20 min.

    do you have algae crew inside your tank?
    i used to have a similar one like yours, but not so brushy. nerite snails saved my rocks..

    @wildbear....to be frank, I don't really know where you like me to look but what I am fascinated with is your camera hogging Aspito?....or is it a Ram?...Looks more Aspito....

    PS: While trying to take the picture of your rock, did you 'tell' your camera hogging Aspito to 'go away'?.....hahahahaa!!!!

    The apisto happened to photobomb the picture. But the focus is still on the black stuff on the rocks. (pun intended)
