green algae on sand

[nickloeuf]

Hey guys

I wonder why there is green algae on my sand bed!?

There is a little growing on the back of my tank but it is mostly on my sand.. is there anything that can actually eat that? or any way to remove it?

here is a picture

I've had this problem with a darker green algae. In my case, lowering the temp of the tank and a water change cleared it up. I also scooped it out with my hand a few times. If the sandbed isn't too deep, you could also stir it up a little if it looks dirty. Good luck!

It could be an algae or bacteria hard to say :)
