hi again yall! weird mucusy, matted web looking stuff in a low flow low light area in our tank.. been around for a little while, doesn’t seem to be bothering anything but it’s ugly & we are curious if we should remove this or leave it alone.. it’s somewhat like an algae growing.. fish, cuc, etc don’t seem to be bothered by going near it or swimming through.. any ideas?
 
google chrysophytes and see if that helps id…
pics are not helping me, but your description does

in the event that this is what it is, any ideas on how to fix it? any CUC or fish that will eat it? removing the entire rock area and treating it is not happening.. too much is living on top of that rock formation.. read an article on brushing? but what keeps this from coming back? thank you for the response!
