I have two other dirt tanks and I have had algae befor but not this type. Could you tell me what type it is and how to get rid of it.

That's fungus feeding on the organic substances of the soil. It's exceedingly common in dirted tanks in the first few weeks. You can physically remove it fairly easily.
 
Thank you so much. I was very worried when I saw this on my dirted tank.
