Can anyone ID this plant, Back in January I noticed this (second picture) starting to grow, which I did not plant. Someone mentioned that it might be a amazon sword offshoot. However letting it grow, it is not looking like a sword at all. As seen in the first picture, you can see 2 more of these are starting to grow, any thoughts?

to me it looks like Hygrophila corymbosa (with off shoot), with black brush algae on the leaves.
 
Thanks, and yah just had to say something about the BBA??? Its been a problem in my tank for a while now, I started adding Flourish excel which I have to admit did help. But it hasn't gotten it all. But thanks again
 
The Excel might not be enough if your lighting is too much. Either reduce the amount bulbs or turn towards pressurized Co2.
Manual removal helps.
