I don't know what kind it is... it is thick, slimey and green. This tank is new, been running for about 6 wks, but I don't remember algae like this before.

Cyano? If so, Mexican Turbo snails will eat it.

Dinoflagellates? I don't think anything eats that. It will kill snails.

I'm pretty sure both of those can be green.

Red/pink Serpant sea star did a great job of picking up uneaten Mysis. Brown banded one never touched Mysis does lots of cruising around at night so I would guess detritus. Cowries work well for glass.
