What is this (& I don't think it's hydra) on my flame moss?

In my 16gal tank, I have what looks to be the same problem as you. Why is this Black Hair Algae soo "dreaded"?

[ChiefWalksInSlips]

I originally thought that it had something to do with the white fungus that is growing on my driftwood. Do you have driftwood in your tank?

[wicca]

its dreaded because it spreads really easily and its hard to kill i do find that a little hydrogen peroxide in a syringe works well the squirt right on it. just be really carfull and do a water change the day after if you use that method. if you are able to take the plant that is affected out of the tank do a dip and set in a qt tank till gone. as it dies it will turn red color.

I don't think it's black hair algae.
I have had Javamos for a few weeks now, and they already have this, i think it could be little roots for attaching itself to surfaces.
My Javamos is starting to grow and has little grow tips on many ends of it's structure.

I do water measurements every week. I have no excess nutrients in my water and dose my Easy carbo and Profito with a seringe.
I haven't had any algae problems, very grateful for this.

I also thought perhaps it's a bit dying off , of some leaves, and it is adjusting to my aquarium water.

I have yet to find a reason to assume it is dangerous.

Take care,

Joey
