Sorry I posted 2 threads of the same thing by accident. I don't know how to fix that.

does it look like any of the other algae you have in the tank, but just translucent? it could be Caleurpa about to go holocarpy on you.

but really hard to guess without a pic.

Pictures aren't coming out to well. But I tried to scrape it and it looks like it isn't doing much good. It's the only algae i have in the tank because it's a new tank. What is Caleurpa or holocarpy? I'm confused.
