Algae Growing On Java Fern?

[Anableps]

I bought a java fern that I saw buried in the gravel at my lfs (don't ask why im so empathetic towards plants lol), I took it home and attached it to some driftwood. The plant isn't in the best shape and a few of the leaves have cuts/holes on them. The holes seem to have some clear kind of greenish threads/strings attached around the edges. Its almost as if it's preventing the cuts from being repaired. Is there a way I could remove these without damaging the leaves furthur? the plant looks as if it's been ravaged enough already, but I know jfs are very resilient and hopefully it will bounce back.

any advice is appreciated, thanks to those that reply!

this could be new plantlets growing from the leaves. Wait and see.

It sounds a lot like where the plant starts to rot at the cuts ammonia is being produced - hence the algae. You might be able to rub some of the algae off, or spot treat it with liquid carbon, but the leaf itself won't repair, it will have to be cut off at some point.
Maybe take some of the worst ones off and then the other damaged leaves as new ones are produced....

IMO
