Algae or parasite?

[Arborist131]

I've recently noticed a slight growth on my aquarium glass where the cichlids can't get to. I'm wondering if it's just beneficial bacteria or something to worry about/keep
An eye on. Theres not many in the tank but whatever it is it moves with the current, almost like a threadlike grass moving in the breeze.Any ideas or possible solutions? Thanks

What color is it, most likely algae, my 55 had a spot i just couldnt get to, to clean it and algae would build up like that and wave in the current

It's almost like a very light green or a tan, and its only where my pleco and cichlids
Can't get to, there's a large lava rock up against the glass, on the back of the rock and on the glass is where it's all growing

I think its pretty safe to say its just algae.

Ok thanks, I'll just move the rocks and use my magnet cleaner.
