It depends on what fish you have in the tank!
It is called coraline algae.

Algae
you buy an algae fish at a pet store to eat the algae.
All tropical fish need light, as they tend to live near the surface around coral reefs. It is no different if the fish is kept in a tropical fish tank. Too much light duration will result in excessive algae growth in a fish tank. Therefore, light duration should be regulated to keep algae growth to a minimum.
algae creates oxygen in the water ,tank. i found a 35 gal. tank you could not see into because the algae was so thick. the tank had not been touched for almost 6 months, yet there was a fish alive in the tank , not only did the algae create oxygen in the tank, but also created a food source for the fish to survive
You should always keep your tank clean regardless of having a pleco as the water needs to be changed regularly (weekly of at least 50%), and you need to remove any debris; the pleco will enjoy some algae, but you should also feed it algae wafers and zucchini.
you will need to get an algae eater, they are ugly but they do the trick, also a good quality pump
if you want fish that stays stuck on the side of the fish tank, the mud fish is the right job for it. It sucks the algae growing on rocks, sides of fish tanks or basically anything that has algae growing on it.
By icky, I am guessing you mean algae? Well for one, this will be paradise for Algae Eaters but the other fish might feel a little dirty or sick. Clean your tank and while doing, use an algae scrubber and scrub down the sides of the tank where the algae is present.Hint: Scrub on the inside of the tank, where the water is.
