    can you describe it a bit better, could be almost anything. Got a pic maybe?

    Chaetomorpha sp. is what it sounds like you are describing.

    I agree with the description sounding like chaeto. This algae likes strong lighting, and should be placed in an area of high flow; flow that will keep it tumbling like tumbleweeds.
