Hey everyone, I just switched my tank recently to a 60 gallon AIO and this algae has started to come up on the glass and growing on my powerheads. My cleanup crew isn’t quick enough to stay on top of it at the moment. What is it?

Blue light pictures are almost useless for a solid ID of micro algae. Try a photo under white light. Thanks
