My tank is 4 months old and after cleaning my tank for green hair algae this algae appeared what is it?
What should I do about it, is it like diatoms that goes away or is it like green hair algae that I should remove?

yes it is cyano, also see some green algae there, basically normal for 4 month old tank. Start working on dialing in your phosphate, there are lots of methods to do so. Get yourself the best phophate test kit possible. Work on manually removing algae, water changes, controlling the feeding and lighting, water flow, and you will get through it, we've all been through it
