Is this Algae? How do I fix it? Is it going to take over my whole tank leading to a tear down?

Picture is a bit out of focus but it looks like typical hair algae to me

How long has the tank been set up?

What are your parameters? especially nitrates and phosphates?

If the tank is fairly new this could simply be a part of the ugly phase and will soon pass, if the tank has been up and running for a while then its most likely a nutrient issue

with there being so little I would manually remove for now using either your fingers or a toothbrush
 
Green Hair algae. Tank does look new, so its just a thing that happens. Keep an eye on nutrients, and I would suggest removing it as you can. Never hurts. Don't let it get out of hand, I did, its everywhere. MEh
