Algae, color varies how clean your tank is. Brown is somewhat normal. Just wipe it out good, or it will grow back. I had a lot of these on my saltwater tank.Remember to scrub the roots out. I recommend a steal sponge to wipe it.

its probably old algae, or fungi or mould or something. you should clean out the tank as soon as possible coz it could poison the fish or something.

Its algae that has been growing on top of itself. It needs to be cleaned ASAP! It becomes harder to wash off if it is left.
