Except for the dots, it could be a vermatid...look closely - is it spinning a web? If it is, it is a vermatid, a harmless stationary snail-like...
No, its the garden variety hair algae. Mostly straight filaments, thick, but they mutate into nice treelike and leaflike shapes in spots. Kind of...
I am with the "like them" crowd because I've only seen five or six of them in my tank. I would not like more than that. You can trap them and...
