OH YEAH. Sliders have simonella on their feet. You should be weary of touching the little germ monster. I have one and it is BAD NEWS especially because that is a puppy!!! Immediately take your puppy to the hospital or as soon as you can because simonella can kill.
To safely get rid of algae in your red-eared slider's tank, you can reduce the tank's lighting duration, clean the tank and filter regularly, and avoid overfeeding your turtle. Introducing algae-eating tank mates like snails or shrimp can also help naturally control algae growth. Avoid using chemicals or algaecides that can harm your turtle.
No
Algae benefit aquatic turtles by providing a food source as turtles may eat algae. Algae can also provide shelter for turtle hatchlings or smaller turtles. Additionally, algae can help keep the water clean by absorbing excess nutrients.

Green algae.
Algae covered the top of the pond. The pond was full of algae.

The algae is for camouflage.
They eat jelly fish, sponges and algae and much more.
too much algae....um..next Q
We had young red-ear sliders several years ago and the white stuff you see may simply be that your turtle is growing, and shedding old skin. It floats as they swim and could be mistaken for some type of white algae or fungus, I suppose. If the turtle otherwise seems happy and healthy, I would assume that's what it is. Good luck!
