Algae! Help to identify...

Can anybody idenify what algae is this? It is like a 'ring' and I can see 2 different colors on the leaves.

How do I get rid of it??

What plant is that? It seem to me the leave is melting.

Looks like a combination of green spot algae and black brush algae.

Cut and throw away the affected leaf.

Bro, other than cutting away the affected leaf... any algae medication available in the market that can cure this??

This is tough...

The leave is not melting... it is confirm algae

I think I will try to scratch it off... not sure if this works...

Think it would be best to simply cut and throw that leaf rather than scratching it. It might infect other parts of the plant by doing so...

Cut away the infected leave would be the best option.
