looks like some kind of hair algae to me..turbo snails, water changes, phosphate removers, less light, less feeding.. should do the trick.

A seahare should take care of that pretty quickly.

It's hair algae a part of life remove it with your hand or brush no sweet.

never buy an animal to ge rid of algea. once the GHA is gone, the animal will starve and die.

GHA means your tank is new (it will go away by itself) or you need to:

White hair algae? I've never seen white hair algae, unless it was dead...if its white, could it be some kind of fungus?

im with Mray and onces its gone you can always pass the seahare in to another member. you can also remove it like dre said with ur hands... but it wont get it all out.

I've had my hair algae go white before. It was during the early phases of my cycle and I had left the lights off for a few days.

Make sure your water parameters are in check and it will go away on it's own.
