Hair algae? I think it is?

There are these flowing, white, long hair growing aong the edge of my java fern's leaf

The java fern is:
-in a cup due to problems
-7 hours dim sunlight
-less than 1cm from water surface to tip of java fern
-is a bit yellow, but thats taken care of
-been in the cup 4 2 weeks
-fully cured 1 week ago
-ready to put in 10g freshwater tank

The tank has 1 male platy 2 ghost shrimps so far (in there for 3-4 days)

Is the hair algae? How do i cure it? And will my platy eat the algae?
If its not algae, what is it and how do i cure it?

Thank you
