He means film algae - I'm not sure what the real term is, alas it is not "filamentous" though because yeah that means filament/strand/hair algae. And alas they don't touch hair algae, too bad. But they do go after the slime/film on the glass with gusto.

Jonathan had one that was the size of a small dog! Sure would be nice to see a pic of that one.

Dude, mine looks like that too. I was a bit worried that it might have a blockage in it's digestive track some where, but I guess this is normal. Whew!
