Purple Algae?

[Stale Cupcakes]

I'm not sure if I put this in the right forum, but oh well. I have a 20 gallon tank
with a goldfish and 2 nerite snails. I had algae growing on the glass when I noticed it started to turn a reddish purple. Is it because it's dead? And can my snails eat it?

Your algae is probably "Brown Algae". It's non toxic, just unsightly. Some fish and snails eat it.

That tank is too small for goldfish
