I recently put two plants into my startup aquarium(wisteria and micro sword). I've been putting Seachem Stability into the water. I've noticed a brown hair on top of the leaves of the wisteria and i'm not sure if it is hair algae because it is brown. Does any one have any answers.
 
It's not hair algae.

If it brushes off easily, then it's diatoms and should go away on its own in a few weeks. If it's difficult to remove, then it's probably BBA.
