I have that algae too, but mine's even fluffier. I'm not sure what causes it, though. I don't have a lot of direct sunlight, but I do have pretty strong lights on the tank. I like mine.... it's kind of nice.

Kind of looks like black brush algae...

I have something similar on my pondweed's leaves. It could be a brown hair algae too.

Eek! I used to have the same issue about a year ago and the only way I got rid of it was manual removal or removal of the leaf and slowed it down with excel.

you have Staghorn, justonemoretank had BBA. basically it comes down to not enough carbon/co2
