sounds like it's a type of hair algae... with the same type of controls... light intensity & hours

... remembering that thread ( sorry, no pun intended ) of the picture of that huge fishing spider...

"It's just some algae, hair type to be exact. Just pull it off.
I had this exact tank a long time ago, and it always grew algae there, mostly because of how close the light is to that filter opening."

"how long are your lights on?
I kept mine on for eight hours and it still grew eventually"

If it’s string algae which would have multiple strings, I fixed mine by reducing the brightness and dosing with hydrogen peroxide about 5ml to a 100l tank every second day for 3 doses.gone!!
