Green Dust Algae
Chlorophyta spp.
Plantae›Chlorophyta›Chlorophyceae›Chlorophyta
📍 Worldwide in aquariums and still freshwater
Fine, powdery green coating on the glass that wipes off easily but returns quickly. Different from Green Spot Algae — much softer and more responsive to physical removal. A large clean-up crew (nerites, Mystery snails, Otocinclus) keeps it in check. Usually a sign of moderate light excess.
