Please help me identify this...

I found this in my tank. Its dark green and stringy. I dont think it is a plant. I think it is some kind of algae. It is also tubular. What will eat it or do i just need to remove it?

Do you have a picture?

Do you have any plants in your tank?

 

[BrianGray]

Yes I have a few plants Anubus, Java Fern, Sword, Red Ludwigia, and Lily bulb. Here are a couple pics. sorry not to good.

looks like moss. do you have a clearer or bigger pic?

 

[jsoong]

Or maybe thread algae? Best to remove by hand.

 

[Blueiz]

It almost looks like blue green algae

I agree with mgamer. To me algae always feels a little slimy and moss is more like coarse hair or wire.

 

[BrianGray]

it is course so how did it get their ?

 

[joy13]

If you have other plants one little piece of java moss can hitchhike and you got it in your tank. I really don't think it is aquatic bladderwort, that is considered a pest.

I would guess either some moss or maybe some roots that got torn up. It could be some type of algae but it looks too big in diameter to me.
