well if your tank is near sunlight, better shift it to another place.

You have a better picture? It looks blur. I thought its hair algae.

If your DW is new, then not a problem. They will gradually disappear if not eaten by shrimps and mollies etc.

If its brown algae, the cause is low lighting. Increase light and they will diminish. Yamato shrimps will eat them too.

You shouldn't plant Windelov in the substrate. They should be tied to DW with their rhizome exposed.
