    Look like Rhizoclonium
    Description Strands of fine green or brownish threads which are soft and slimy.
    Cause Low CO2 and poor water flow. Low nutrient levels. General lack of maintenance.
    Removal Increase CO2 levels and check nutrient dosing. Give the tank a good cleaning. Overdosing Excel, EasyCarbo or TNC Carbon should also clear it. Amano shrimp will eat it.
