Rhizoclonium
Rhizoclonium sp.
Family: Cladophoraceae
📍 Worldwide in nutrient-rich freshwater
Thin, cotton-like green threads that form loose, easily detached clumps — often confused with hair algae but coarser and more tangled. Tends to form clumps rather than sheets. Usually caused by excess ammonia or organics in new tanks. Amano shrimp and Florida Flagfish handle it well.
