I cant find a thing about this kind of algae from any sites. (Sorry..cant post a pic at this time)

It ONLY goes on the seems of my glass tank, on the acryic and is flourescent lime, neon green with some brown dots. It scrubs off but my silicon is stained green and it won't scub off.

What causes this stuff and how can I remove it?

(I am also getting brown algae that I heard is 'normal' with a cycling tank)

usually the lime green turns to purple coraline afterwards...i think that the lime green may actually be considered a type of coraline, but not positive.
