lately i've been getting A LOT of brown algae growing on the fake plants and glass of my 20 gallon aquarium. i'm only housing one 2 inch green spotted puffer. the algae is very easy to remove but grows back quickly. the water conditions are perfect and the SG is 1.016. is there something going on that i should be concerned about? is the algae harmful to my puffer? please help!

most likely diatoms. there harmless and should eventually go away. you can either wipe them off or just leave them
