It's really hard to see much in the photos with as much blue as they have. Are you able to either take the picture under white lights or use an orange or yellow filter to remove most of the blue? Another option is, if you're using a camera or phone with the capability, turn your white balance up as close to 10,000K as you can get it.

Photos in normal light will better help identify the issue (the blue light drowns out a lot of detail).

What are your water parameters like? You may have high nutrients which is causing the hair algae outbreak and is also irritating the BTA.

Also, it might be that one of your emerald crabs has gone rogue and wanted to taste your BTA.
