It looks like cyanobacteria. It's a pain in the rear to get rid of. Trying removing it manually and increasing water circulation.

I like the look tho lol


It may begin to spread uncontrollably onto the substrate, walls, plants, and filter. After physical removal and spot treatments with hydrogen peroxide failed to remove it completely, I ended up using API Erythromycin to get rid of it.
