Ok so this is a recent development, I have this really thick fuzz growing in my java moss. It's basically the same color as the moss, but much thicker. It's in the moss on the right side of the pic.
Here's a pic...

Any ideas?

Looks like the picture "hair algae" on this site: http://www.aquaticscape.com/articles/algae.htm
Actually, not bad looking stuff as far as algae goes.

Yea, definately hair algae. Contrary to what other say, I think hair algae is pretty nasty stuff. It's nearly impossible to get rid of once its there. Watch out.

Just like the others said, hair algae. My moss just started to get some also. I just pull out what I can each time I clean the tank.
