It's not algae. It is fungus growth.

This happens to me when I add driftwood that I find without soaking it first. It always goes away after a few weeks in my experiences.

thats fungus growing on your bamboo because its dieing. Bamboo isnt an aquatic plant and start to rot and die when it is fully submerged for too long

Okay fungus so will it go away and I don't think its because its dying because its dried and already dead

As bamboo decomposes it will release nutrients that will be consumed by fungi. Take it out and boil it or bake it to kill of whatever is there. It will moat likely come back eventually.

It kind of looks like black brush algae on my phone though. If it is then siamese algae eaters will take care of it.
