Hey everyone, I set this tank up about a month and half ago and I saw these green brownish things on my substrate, although i think it’s harmless how can I get rid of this and if there’s any fishes that will take care of it?
 
Pics under white light would be helpful.

Do you have any clean up crew?

Manually vacuuming will obviously remove it, but with a new tank this is probably just another portion of the uglies.

Yeah it definitely is part of the uglies, i’ll get a pic under the white light when I get chance. I only have a sandsifting goby but he’s being lazy lol
