No problems, loads and loads of info on algae, your photo is from September 2021 so unfortunately I can not help
Use search button 'top right' (magnifying glass)
Loads of answers... Good luck

Looks like cyano or dinos to me. Scoop it out, add 100ml of saltwater, add 5ml of h2o2 and see if bubbles start to form. If they form, it’s cyano.
