No, its not algae!!!!

Its java moss, and i dont think it will affect your sand!

There Fine!

Won't make your sand green! In really good lighting the oxygen they produce can make them float in the day and then sink again at night!

It's NOT java moss at all, please check the advice you give before you give it

Marimo (Japanese: 毬藻 marimo), also known as Cladophora ball, Lake ball, or Moss Balls in English, is a species of filamentous green algae (Chlorophyta) found in a number of lakes in the northern hemisphere. The name though refers to a certain rare growth form of the species where the algae grow into large green balls with a velvety appearance. Colonies of such balls are known only from Iceland, Japan and Estonia.
